CONTEXT: The purpose of this report was to describe the improvement in walking ability using the Hybrid Assistive Limb® (HAL®) intervention in the case of a patient with paraplegia after spinal cord injury whose condition deteriorated because of a sp...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate gait parameters and neuromuscular profiles of exoskeleton-assisted walking under Max Assist condition during a single-session for; (i) able bodied (AB) individuals walking assisted with (EXO) and without (non-EXO) a powered exo...
STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review about randomised trials comparing different training strategies to improve gait in people with spinal cord injuries (SCI).
