Clinical Trial Summary

Background and aim: Sustained bed rest impairs many bodily functions. Verticalization restores gravitational challenge and the use of several organs. The Atalante™ exoskeleton (Wandercraft) is the only self-balanced exoskeleton, which allows walking without canes. We assessed multi-tissular effects of mobile reverticalization using Atalante™ in neurological bed- or wheelchair-bound patients.

Methods: Observational cohort study. Inclusion criteria: bed- or wheelchair-bound for >2 weeks and <1 hour per day of stance, due to a central neurological disorder. Sessions with exoskeleton were 3/week, integrated in routine care. Data collected at baseline and after eight weeks (W8) included: cardiovascular (echocardiography, EKG, blood pressure lying and standing), pulmonary (spirometry), bone (densitometry, biochemical markers), bowels (daily stool frequency, Bristol Stool Scale), urinary (urinary flow, postmictional residual volume, urinary symptom profile questionnaire, USP), cognitive (trail making test, TMT-B), anxiety and depression (HAD), and quality of life (SF12).

Results will be presented at the end of the study.
