入选标准

  • ¿Male or female individuals with a SCI (traumatic)
  • ¿18 through to 65 years old
  • ¿English speaking (Does not need to be 1st language but must be fluent)
  • ¿Chronic (>1yr) spinal cord injury
  • ¿Motor/Sensory incomplete (AIS B, C, D), with a neurological level of injury (NLI) between C1-C8 as determined by the International Standards for Neurological Classification of SCI (ISNCSCI)
  • ¿Reliant upon a wheelchair as their primary mode of mobility
  • ¿Sufficient anthropometrics and range of motion (ROM) to achieve a normal, reciprocal gait pattern within the EksoTM suit
  • oStanding height: 157cm ¿ 188cm
  • oMaximum hip width: 42cm
  • oUpper leg length (Femur): 51cm to 61.4cm
  • oLower Leg length (Tibia): 48cm to 63.4cm
  • oMaximum weight: 100 kilograms
  • oHip extension greater than or equal to 5 degrees
  • oKnee extension less than or equal to 12 degrees
  • oAnkle dorsiflexion greater than or equal to 0 degrees
  • ¿Sufficient upper extremity (UE) strength to use a front wheeled walker (FWW) either by manual muscle testing (MMT) (minimum triceps strength bilaterally of 3/5, shoulder abduction/adduction and flexion/extension 4/5) and/or by functional standing test with FWW. Participants with impaired hand function may use cuff grips.
  • ¿Demonstrate adequate trunk stability and upper extremity strength to utilize EksoTM bionic walking suit as evidenced by the ability to complete a level (or near level) surface wheelchair to mat transfer with minimal assistance.
  • ¿Medically stable and cleared by a physician for full weight bearing locomotor training including 15 minute standing frame trial to assess standing tolerance.
  • ¿Severe osteoporosis: DEXA Z score < -2 of the hip or lumbar spine

排除标准

  • ¿Non-traumatic SCI
  • ¿Have trained in a robotic exoskeleton in the past
  • ¿Performing any other form of locomotor training
  • ¿Clinically Depressed (Beck Depression Inventory)
  • ¿Any medical issue that in the opinion of the investigator precludes full weight bearing locomotor training including but not limited to:
  • oHeart or respiratory comorbidity
  • oSpinal instability (or spinal orthotic unless cleared by physician)
  • oAcute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with activity restrictions
  • oSevere, recurrent autonomic dysreflexia (AD) requiring medical intervention
  • oHeterotopic ossification (HO) in the lower extremities resulting in ROM restrictions at the hips or knees
  • oTwo or more pathological fractures in the last 48 months in a major weight bearing bone (femur or tibia) in the lower extremity
  • oHip subluxation (x-rays will be obtained for individuals injured prior to 10 years of age.
  • ¿Any medical issue that in the opinion of the investigator would affect participant safety either due to cognitive deficits/impulsivity, intolerance to mild exercise or other factors
  • ¿Any issue that in the opinion of the investigator would confound results such as a concurrent neurological injury or disorder (other than SCI)
  • ¿Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) = 4 in any of the lower extremity joints (i.e scored a 4 on the scale (indicating rigidity in the joint) when testing joint movements in lower extremities (hip flexion/extension, knee flexion/extension, ankle dorsi/plantar flexion)
  • ¿Skin integrity issues in areas that contact the device (including abdominal ostomies) or that would prohibit sitting
  • ¿Z scores outside of recommended range (<-2)
