    The Effects of the EKSO Exoskeleton Device on Improving Cardiovascular Endurance, Gait Speed, Fatigue and Pain in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke

    Since most individuals with spinal cord injury have a level of compromise to their respiratory system, introducing the EKSO may help limit complications of the respiratory system in as little as eight sessions. Preliminary data is showing EKSO can affect endurance as seen in the improvements in 6MPT and further supported by the increase in mean steps taken per session of the EKSO without an increase in RPE in as little as eight sessions. The EKSO does not appear to impact pain.
