Exoskeleton Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction Study

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to assess the effects of exoskeleton training on neurogenic bowel disorders in spinal cord injury/ disease.

Clinical Trial Description

After being informed about the study and the potential risks, all patients giving written consents will undergo a medical examination to ensure they are eligible and fit to proceed for the study. Subjects will be randomly assigned to intervention group and control group. Intervention group will receive 2 consecutive courses of exoskeleton training (ET) with twelve 45-minute sessions, each to be completed in 6 to 8 weeks. The total period of training will be 12 to 16 weeks. Control group will receive twelve 45-minute sessions of usual physiotherapy treatment (PT), consisting of maintenance exercise in the first 6 to 8 weeks, and then one course of ET with twelve 45-minute sessions in the following 6 to 8 weeks. ;
