Summary
This small pilot study tested whether training with a robotic exoskeleton (a wearable robot that helps people walk) could improve bowel problems caused by spinal cord injury. Ten adults with long-term spinal cord injury used the exoskeleton in a supervised program. Researchers measured changes in bowel function scores, time spent on the toilet, and accidents. The goal was to see if this approach is worth studying in larger trials.
