Summary
This study tested whether a self-balancing robotic exoskeleton (Atalante) could improve walking speed in people with multiple sclerosis better than standard physical therapy. Sixty participants with moderate to severe walking difficulty were randomly assigned to 24 sessions of either robot-assisted or conventional gait training over 8 weeks. The main goal was to see if the robot group could walk 10 meters faster than before.
