Robot-assisted physiotherapy for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- Your spinal cord injury is incomplete (some feeling or movement below the injury) and you have an ASIA grade of C or D.
- The injury is at chest level (T10) or higher, and you have had it for at least 6 months.
- You are staying at a hospital or rehab center for treatment (not just visiting).
- You do not have severe spasticity, open wounds, bone problems, or metal implants in your legs.

This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
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 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 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.
