Summary

This study is testing whether a lightweight leg exoskeleton called Keeogo is safe and helpful for improving walking and preventing falls in people with Parkinson's disease. Thirty veterans with mild to advanced Parkinson's will wear the device during supervised walking sessions twice a week for eight weeks. Researchers will track falls, side effects, and how well participants tolerate the device, and will also measure changes in mobility and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Keeogo portable exoskeleton device
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a new assistive device option to help people with Parkinson's walk better and reduce falls.
What could go wrong: This is a small early feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may not be tolerated by those with advanced disease.
