Robot suit could revolutionize walking recovery for spinal cord patients
NCT ID NCT07036107
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a wearable robotic exoskeleton helps people with recent spinal cord injury regain walking ability better than standard physical therapy. Eighty participants will be randomly assigned to either robot-assisted or conventional gait training for 8 weeks. Researchers will also measure if the robot reduces caregiver burden and healthcare costs.
