Exoskeleton suit for walking rehabilitation after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a powered exoskeleton (a wearable robot suit) to help people with spinal cord injuries practice walking during rehabilitation. The goal is to see if using this device helps improve walking ability and overall function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a spinal cord injury.
- If you are currently in the hospital, you need some movement in your legs or arms (AIS C or D). If you are living at home, you need at least some movement (AIS B, C, or D).
- You should not have a complete spinal cord injury (AIS A), meaning no movement or feeling below the injury.
- If you are in the hospital, you should be expected to have a better than 50% chance of walking independently within a year.
- If you are living at home, you need a specific walking goal that the exoskeleton can help with.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with an exoskeleton can help people with chronic spinal cord injury walk better. It aims to improve mobility and may lead to new rehabilitation options.
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 tests whether an external walking-assist device (an exoskeleton) plus targeted spinal cord stimulation can help people with long-term spinal cord injury. It may be designed for wheelchair users who meet specific nerve function and bone health 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.
