NCT ID NCT05926596
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a wearable robotic exoskeleton that stretches the legs of people with spasticity caused by spinal cord injury. The device aims to mimic the stretching done by nurses or caregivers. Ten veterans will try the device during leg stretching, treadmill walking, and overground walking to see if it improves muscle activity, joint motion, and gait. The goal is to develop a better way to restore leg function and quality of life.

Wearable robotic exoskeleton
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new way to improve leg movement and walking ability for people with spasticity.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 10 participants. The device may not work as hoped, and results may not apply to everyone with spasticity.
