Summary

This trial tests whether robot-assisted therapy using the ArmeoSpring exoskeleton improves arm and hand function more than conventional occupational therapy in people with cervical spinal cord injury. Each participant receives both therapies in random order, allowing direct comparison. The study focuses on grasp performance and daily independence during early rehabilitation.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ArmeoSpring exoskeleton (robot-assisted therapy)
What this could lead to
If robot-assisted therapy proves more effective, it could offer a new, standardized option to improve arm and hand function after cervical spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage crossover trial with only 40 participants. The ArmeoSpring provides weight support but no active movement, so gains may be modest and may not apply to all injury levels.
