Self-balancing Personal Exoskeleton for SCI (WINY)

This personal exoskeleton, developed by Wandercraft as a new version of the Atalante X, offers a novel hands-free and self-balancing design, aiming at enhancing stability and mobility for users in daily activities. The study features an interventional, prospective, single-group, and open-label design, conducted over 3 to 4 weeks in a US investigation site. It aims to enroll up to 12 SCI users and their 12 companions, resulting in 12 SCI user-companion pairs. Over the course of nine to ten scheduled visits, participants undergo a sequence of procedures, beginning with screening and device fitting. This is followed by five training sessions which conclude with an evaluation to issue a competency certificate to confirm the ability to use the device across all its "basic skills". Additionally, two sessions are dedicated to evaluating the exoskeleton's effectiveness outcomes, complemented by an extra practice session. Each visit lasts an average of 1.5 hours.
