Summary
This study tests whether combining a powered exoskeleton (a robotic suit) with functional electrical stimulation (small muscle zaps) can improve walking speed in people with chronic spinal cord injury. About 34 participants with incomplete injuries will be randomly assigned to receive either the combined therapy or robotic therapy alone. The main goal is to see if the combo helps them walk faster after training.
