Overground Walking Program With Robotic Exoskeleton in Long-term Manual Wheelchair Users With Spinal Cord Injury

NCT03989752 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 16

Summary

Many individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) use a wheelchair as their primary mode of locomotion. The prolonged non-active sitting time associated to this mode of locomotion contributes to development or worsening of numerous adverse health effects affecting musculoskeletal, endocrino-metabolic and cardiorespiratory health. To counter this vicious circle, engaging in a walking program with a wearable robotic exoskeleton (WRE) is a promising physical activity intervention. This study aims to measure the effects of a WRE-assisted walking program on musculoskeletal, endocrino-metabolic and cardiorespiratory health.
