This trial is recruiting individuals with spinal cord injuries to evaluate three wearable robotic exoskeleton devices. The main goal is to see which device (Ekso, ReWalk and Rex) best improves walking. Participants will receive training with each of the devices. Based on performance data, the study will develop a set of rules (or algorithms) that will more specifically determine which type of exoskeleton is best suited for different types of SCI. Each training session will be scheduled for one hour, based on movements that reflect walking activities associated with daily living. Functional assessments will be done before and after each session.
Non-traumatic
Traumatic
Type
Details
Up to 15 training sessions per each of the three devices. A session includes the outcome measurement assessment. The total time can be around 14-20 weeks per device in Houston.
Main benefits
Standing/walking/mobility
Additional benefits
Bone health
General health
Spasticity
Good to know: Potential benefits are defined as outcomes that are being measured during and/or after the trial.
