Monitored by scientists at Kessler Foundation, six people with spinal cord injuries tested Ekso, the new robotic exoskeleton from Ekso Bionics that enables wheelchair users to stand and walk. The six, each of whom has a different level of injury, participated in one week of preliminary testing in October 2011. In early 2012, the research team, headed by Gail Forrest, PhD, will commence a clinical trial in collaboration with Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. While the trial will focus on the benefits of Ekso in rehabilitation settings, Ekso Bionics plans to explore the potential for home and community use.
