Restoring Walking With a Powered Exoskeleton After Complete and Sever Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ReWalk for Spinal Cord Injury. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Powered exoskeletons have emerged recently, promising to offer walking to individuals with severe spinal cord injury who are unable to walk. We will use the ReWalk exoskeleton to train walking in individuals with chronic, severe spinal cord injury (SCI). We will determine the characteristics of individuals who most benefit from such training, and identify the neuroplasticity induced by the training. We will further determine the feasibility of the ReWalk for home and community ambulation.

Interventions
Intensive training with the ReWalk to negotiate smooth ground, rough terrain indoors and outdoors, ascending and descending slopes and steps, in a home setting and in the community.
