Researchers at Kent and Canterbury Hospital, U.K., are recruiting 20 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who can walk at least eight meters with a walking aid to test the effectiveness of a five-week exercise program using assistive robotic technology.
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) are being sought to take part in a study that aims to investigate the benefits of a robotic walking device.
Karen Saunders, a consultant clinical and research neuro-physiotherapist, is the co-investigator on a feasibility trial that is evaluating the use of a balance exercise programme that makes use of a Rex robotic exoskeleton.
During the trial, the robotic exoskeleton will be used to enable people to practice standing with less effort, as
