Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to observe current exoskeleton users in their home environment to determine the activities of daily living (ADLs) they are able to complete, and to identify the minor adaptations to the home environment that will improve the exoskeleton user's potential for increased independence. This is a pilot study to fine-tune the methods and to determine the feasibility of doing this study on a larger scale.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Exoskeleton UsersExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This study includes patients who are current exoskeleton users. Exoskeleton users will engage in normal activities of daily living (ADLs) that they currently perform at wheelchair level while using the exoskeleton. Researchers will observe the ADLs the exoskeleton users are and are not able to complete while using their exoskeleton.
