Summary

This study tested a new robotic device called REACTION that combines an exoskeleton and a gait trainer to help people with stroke or spinal cord injury improve walking and balance. Seven participants completed two sessions of walking and balance tasks, followed by an interview. The goal was to see if the device is feasible and to measure walking speed and balance.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: REACTION device (combination of exoskeleton and gait trainer)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to a new rehabilitation tool that helps improve walking and balance in people with neurological conditions.
What could go wrong: This is a very small feasibility study with only 7 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is still in early testing and may not improve walking speed significantly.
