A study examined the effects of a 16-week exoskeleton-assisted walking program on bone health in individuals with chronic spinal cord injuries who rely on wheelchairs.
Ten participants underwent individualized sessions, focusing on improving lower-extremity weight-bearing activities to counteract osteoporosis and fracture risk.
Results indicated significant increases in bone strength markers for the femur and tibia after the program, though no changes were observed in bone remodeling biomarkers.
