Testing a new exoskeleton for walking after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a powered exoskeleton called TWIICE Rise to see if it is safe and possible for people with spinal cord injury to use it for walking. It may help if you have some movement or no movement in your legs but need help standing and walking with crutches.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury from trauma or another cause, at least 6 months ago.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are able to stand with a standing frame for at least 10 minutes without feeling dizzy.
- You can use crutches and sit with your knees and hips bent at 90 degrees or more.
- Your height is between 160 and 190 cm and weight is under 100 kg.

This trial tests whether a powered walking exoskeleton together with electrical muscle stimulation (FES) can improve walking and movement in people with long-term, incomplete spinal cord injury. It may help you stand and walk more safely and effectively than standard care alone.
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 an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
This trial studies whether epidural (back-of-spine) stimulation plus guided resistance training can improve strength and function after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It may help people who have an intact nerve pathway below their injury level and can safely use a rehab exoskeleton.
This study tests a wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
