This feasibility trial is enrolling 10 participants with chronic spinal cord injury to test the safety of the ABLE Daily exoskeleton for walking function in home and community settings. An exoskeleton is an externally worn powered robotic device to assist movement. If included, participants will complete 9 supervised training sessions over 3 weeks, and once they pass a skills and knowledge exam, they will use the exoskeleton independently at home and in the community for 12 weeks. Final testing of safety and device performance will be done after 16 weeks.
