Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Technology for Non-Ambulatory Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury

Testing lower-limb exoskeletons for those with spinal cord injury.

18-70 years
All
Phase N/A

This study focuses on lower-limb exoskeletons for people with spinal cord injury. A spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord which can affect movement and sensation. Exoskeletons are wearable machines that help people move, especially if they can’t walk on their own. This study aims to compare two types of exoskeletons: self-balancing and user-balancing. Self-balancing exoskeletons help users balance automatically, while user-balancing ones need the user to balance themselves. Participants will try both types, walking five times and doing two tests with each. Researchers will use motion sensors (devices that track movement), metabolic monitors (devices that measure energy use), and muscle sensors (devices that check muscle activity) during these sessions to understand how these exoskeletons affect the body and user experience.

  • The study involves 7 sessions in total.
  • Participants must be 18-70 years old and meet specific health criteria.
  • Participation is not safe for those with certain health conditions.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
