Abstract

The goal of this research is to assess how powered exoskeleton-training for 5 h per week over 20 weeks can change gait parameters to increase walking speed for chronic SCI. Gait parameters include Center of Mass (CoM) excursions, walking velocity, initial double stance time (IDS), single stance time (SS), terminal double stance time (TDS), swing time (SW), and spatial parameters such as step length, step width and stride length. Exoskeleton training had a significant effect on walking velocity due to specific temporal spatial gait parameters (IDS, TDS, Step and Stride Length) and increased stability (CoM).
