Robot rehab shows promise for spinal cord injury gait recovery
NCT ID NCT07440459
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how walking with a robot (Lokomat) helps people with spinal cord injuries recover movement. Ten patients were assessed before, during, and after training, plus one month later. The goal was to understand how gait improves over time, not to test a new drug or device.
