Official Title: Acute Effects of a Powered Lower-Limb Exoskeleton on Walking Performance in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Randomized Crossover Trial
Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a powered wearable lower-limb exoskeleton can improve walking performance in independently ambulatory older adults aged 65 to 75 years.The main questions it aims to answer are:* Does use of a powered lower-limb exoskeleton increase comfortable walking speed over 10 meters?* Does use of a powered lower-limb exoskeleton increase average walking speed during a 400-meter walk?Researchers will compare walking performance in older adults during walking with the powered…
