Which exoskeleton do therapists prefer? a Head-to-Head comparison
NCT ID NCT07767955
First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 17, 2026
Summary
This study asks whether physiotherapists and physical education instructors are more satisfied with certain exoskeleton models used for gait training in rehabilitation. A group of 14 experienced professionals will test three different devices and rate their usability. The goal is to understand which features support therapists' work best, potentially shaping future exoskeleton design and training.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Exoskeleton devices for gait training (three models: LokomatPro FreeD, Atalante X, and a wearable device requiring clutches)
- What this could lead to
- If this study shows clear preferences among therapists, it could guide future exoskeleton design and training to better support rehabilitation professionals.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small exploratory study with only 14 participants, so its findings may not apply broadly. It measures satisfaction, not patient outcomes, and cannot determine which device is clinically best.
