NCT ID NCT07325149

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

Summary

This study tests whether walking in a robotic exoskeleton combined with mild electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve muscle and bone health in people with chronic spinal cord injury. About 24 participants will be assigned to either active or sham stimulation during exoskeleton training. The goal is to see if the combination can reverse muscle and bone loss that often occurs after injury.
