Robot suit and zaps may boost walking after spinal injury

NCT ID NCT05187650

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether combining a powered exoskeleton (a robotic leg brace) 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.
