Effects of Wearable Powered Exoskeletal Training on Functional Mobility Physiological Health and Quality of Life in Non-ambulatory Spinal Cord Injury Patients

摘要

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious clinical condition that impacts a patient's physical, psychological, and socio-economic status. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the effects of training with a newly developed powered wearable exoskeleton (Hyundai Medical Exoskeleton [H-MEX]) on functional mobility, physiological health, and quality of life in non-ambulatory SCI patients.
