NCT ID NCT07669181
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a robotic exoskeleton called ReWalk can help people with complete spinal cord injury below T4 walk and improve their health. Fifty participants will either use the exoskeleton or receive standard physical therapy. The goal is to see if the device improves walking speed, bone density, independence, and overall well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
ReWalk lower-limb exoskeleton
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that exoskeleton training improves mobility, bone health, and quality of life for people with spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device requires significant upper body strength and training, and not all patients will benefit.
