Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the long-term use of a personal overground robotic exoskeleton in subjects with spinal cord injury. The main aims of this study include: 1. Determine patterns of personal overground robotic exoskeleton use over 12 months. 2. Examine the impact of personal overground robotic exoskeleton use on health outcomes over 12 months. These will include: 1. Objective health - heart rate, physical activity, sleep behavior, body temperature, body-mass index, and bone density 2. Medical status - rehospitalization, infection frequency, pressure injury, falls, fractures, medication (type/dose) 3. Function - bowel function, bladder function, pain, spasticity, quality of life, mental health, social participation 3. Determine healthcare expenditure over 12 months Participants and their support person(s) will be trained on using a personal robotic exoskeleton in their home and community. Once they complete training, they will use the exoskeleton as they wish (ie, no requirement to use the device a certain number of times per week) and data collection will begin.
