Summary
This study looks at how a robotic body-weight support system called FLOAT affects the way people with incomplete spinal cord injury perform everyday tasks like walking, standing up, and climbing stairs. Researchers measure movement and muscle activity with and without the robot's help. The goal is to learn how to better tailor rehabilitation exercises for each patient.
