NCT ID NCT07222033

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

Summary

This study is testing a personal exoskeleton that lets people with spinal cord injury walk hands-free and stay balanced on their own. Twelve participants with injuries at or above the T6 level will train with the device over several sessions. The goal is to see if the exoskeleton is safe and helps them perform everyday walking tasks like standing up, walking a short distance, and turning around.
