Using a personal exoskeleton at home: health and cost study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how using a wearable robotic exoskeleton in your home and community affects your health and finances. If eligible, you would use the device with a trained support person to see if it helps with daily mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 5'1" and 6'3" tall and weigh 250 lbs or less
- Your femur (thigh bone) length must be between 14.5 and 19 inches
- Your seated hip width must be 16.6 inches or less
- You need a support person who can be trained and present during all sessions
- You must have enough arm and shoulder strength to manage walking aids like crutches or a walker

This trial tests a wearable robot (exoskeleton) that helps people with spinal cord injuries walk at home. If you have a chronic injury and a helper, you may be able to join.
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 compares using a personal exoskeleton (a wearable robot that helps you stand and walk) versus a manual wheelchair for everyday activities. It aims to see which one helps people with spinal cord injuries feel more satisfied and perform better in daily tasks.
This trial studies whether a wearable exoskeleton that helps with leg stretching can reduce stiffness and improve movement in people with spasticity after a spinal cord injury. It may help you stretch more safely and comfortably, but you must meet specific health and device-wear requirements.
This study tests whether intensive physiotherapy with a robotic exoskeleton helps people with spinal cord injuries improve movement and function. The robot supports your legs while you practice walking, aiming to boost recovery.
This study tests whether using a powered walking exoskeleton together with a mild spinal cord stimulation device can improve muscle and bone strength in people with long-term spinal cord injuries. If you qualify, you'd use the exoskeleton during therapy sessions while researchers watch for changes in your leg muscles and bones.
