Summary

This study tests a personal exoskeleton that helps people with spinal cord injury stand, walk, and move without using their hands. The device is self-balancing, so users don't need crutches or a walker. Researchers will check if 24 participants can complete walking tests and daily tasks safely. The goal is to improve mobility and independence for people with paralysis.
