PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Session 11 (Week 5), Session 16 (Week 6), Session 24 (Week 9), and Session 29 (Week 11)

Population: * One participant in the 'AIS A or B using Indego Exoskeleton' group missed the clinic visit for session 24 and we were unable to capture the 10MWT from this participant. * One participant in the 'AIS C or D using Indego Exoskeleton' group missed the clinic visit for session 11 and we were unable to capture the 10MWT from this participant.
