Abstract

In 2012 the neurologic controlled exoskeleton Hybrid assistive limb (HAL) was introduced in the spinal cord injury unit of the university hospital Bochum. Until now 20 acute and 40 chronic injured SCI patients (AIS A-D) have been treated for a three-month body weight supported treadmill training paradigm wearing HAL with a daily intervention. Here we report the feasibility, safety and outcome aspects. All subjects improved due to their functional walking abilities without wearing HAL. The training was feasible, safe and suitable in acute and chronic SCI patients. No severe adverse events were recorded.
