Effects of robotic-assisted gait training on the central vascular health of individuals with spinal cord injury: A pilot study.
Conclusions: RGT using an exoskeleton is a promising therapy for improving cardiovascular health in patients with SCI. Specifically, this study indicates decreased arterial wave reflection and supports the need for larger randomized controlled trials. Trial Registration: Clinical trials Registry ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ ; NCT03611803).
