Exoskeletal-Assisted Walking in Persons with SCI: Impact on Quality of Life

The primary objective of the Exoskeletal-Assisted Walking in Persons with SCI study is to demonstrate that Veterans with chronic Spinal Cord Injuries over 6 months in duration who are primary wheelchair users as their standard of care plus use of an exoskeletal-assisted walking device in their home and community will have clinically meaningful net improvements in the MCS/VR-36 and in patient-reported outcomes for the SCI Quality of Life bladder, bowel, and pain item banks compared with those who use only standard of care, or their wheelchair only.
