目的：探讨疼痛，痉挛，运动范围，日常生活活动，肠道和下尿路功能和生活质量的个人脊髓损伤后机器人外骨骼步态training.Design的变化：前瞻性，观察性，开放标签multicentre study.Methods：三个训练课程，每周使用Ekso GT机器人外骨骼（Ekso Bionics）8周。包括最近（1年）受伤，截瘫和四肢瘫痪，完全和不完全损伤，男性和女性的个人。52%的参与者在训练前一周报告了疼痛，17%的参与者在训练期间报告了疼痛，但纵向没有发生变化。与训练前相比，训练后痉挛减少（p< 0.001），但不是纵向的。经过8周的训练，慢性受伤的参与者的脊髓独立性测量（SCIM III）从73增加到74（p= 0.008），生活满意度也有所提高（p= 0.036）。最近受伤的参与者将SCIM III从62增加到70（p
Objective: To explore changes in pain, spasticity, range of motion, activities of daily living, bowel and lower urinary tract function and quality of life of individuals with spinal cord injury following robotic exoskeleton gait training.Design: Prospective, observational, open-label multicentre study.Methods: Three training sessions per week for 8 weeks using an Ekso GT robotic exoskeleton (Ekso Bionics). Included were individuals with recent (1 year) injury, paraplegia and tetraplegia, complete and incomplete injury, men and women.Results: Fifty-two participants completed the training protocol. Pain was reported by 52% of participants during the week prior to training and 17% during training, but no change occurred longitudinally. Spasticity decreased after a training session compared with before the training session (p< 0.001), but not longitudinally. Chronically injured participants increased Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM III) from 73 to 74 (p= 0.008) and improved life satisfaction (p= 0.036) over 8 weeks of training. Recently injured participants increased SCIM III from 62 to 70 (p
