Self-balancing exoskeleton for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a self-balancing exoskeleton (a wearable robotic device) to help people with spinal cord injury stand and walk. It is for people with injury at or above T6, at least 6 months past injury, and a caregiver who can help during the study visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your spinal cord injury is at or above the T6 level (about the bottom of your shoulder blades) and happened at least 6 months ago.
- You can attend 9 to 10 study visits (each 1–3 hours) for training and testing.
- You do not have any other neurological condition (like a stroke) and are not in another research trial.
- You are not pregnant, do not have unhealed pressure sores, severe spasticity, or uncontrolled blood pressure problems.
- If you are a caregiver, you must be at least 18 and able to assist with the exoskeleton safely.

This trial tests a self-balancing exoskeleton (a wearable robotic suit) to help people with spinal cord injuries stand and walk. It is designed for those with injuries at or above the T6 level and looks at how well the device works and how it feels to use.
This trial will test a self-balancing personal exoskeleton for people with spinal cord injuries. It may help you walk again and improve your mobility.
This study tests a self-balancing robotic exoskeleton device designed to help people with spinal cord injuries stand and walk. Researchers will assess whether the device improves mobility and quality of life over nine visits to a research center.
This trial tests whether placing a small device on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain the ability to walk. It is designed for those who have had a traumatic injury and still have some movement in their upper body.
This study tests a combination of a robotic walking device and spinal cord stimulation to see if it helps improve muscle and bone health in people who have had a spinal cord injury for more than 3 years and cannot walk.
This study tests whether using the Indego device can improve balance and movement for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). You would practice standing or balance tasks with the device if you meet the safety and fit requirements.
