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 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 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 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 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.
