Summary

This study tests whether a self-balancing exoskeleton called Atalante X can safely help patients stand and walk soon after chest surgery in the ICU. Five adults who are weak after surgery will use the device up to 3 times per week for 2 weeks. The goal is to see if it reduces complications from lying in bed, like muscle weakness and slow recovery.
