Summary

This trial investigates how different amounts of robotic gait training using an exoskeleton, combined with brain stimulation, affect walking ability in people with spinal cord injury. Participants with motor incomplete injuries will train during inpatient and outpatient rehab. The study measures changes in walking speed, independence, and brain plasticity to find the best training dose.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Robotic exoskeleton (Ekso GT™) and transcranial magnetic stimulation
What this could lead to: If successful, this could establish effective dosing for robotic gait training to improve walking and independence after spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage dosing study, not a large confirmatory trial. Results may not lead to a standard therapy, and individual responses vary.
