简要总结
The primary objective of this clinical follow-up is to analyze data regarding the safety of the UNILEXA passive exoskeleton post-market. The secondary objective is to assess the effectiveness of the device in improving activities of daily living (ADL) through improved mobility, endurance and health-related quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study is to provide real-world evidence to support wider clinical and home use of the exoskeleton. This observational study is designed for 6 participants from a population of individuals with lower limb paralysis. The study will have a duration of 14 weeks. During this period, participants will visit Janske Lazne three times for routine measurements in a biomechanical laboratory, which will be integrated into their usual physiotherapy sessions.
