简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the safety, usability and acceptability of a motorized mobility assistance exoskeleton. The protocol explores the use of the motorized device during static and dynamic rehabilitation sessions focused on walking and functional activities, with the expectation of evaluating the safety and usability of the device in the population studied. The protocol has been focused on defining how the device can be used appropriately in this population in a safe and effective manner by rehabilitation specialists. The study also aims to assess the safety of clinical staff who implement the intervention.
