Assessment of Safety and Acute Effects of a Knee-hip Powered Soft Exoskeleton in Patients With Neuromuscular Disorders

Resumen breve

The aims of the current study are as follow: i) Evaluate the safety, usability, and acute efficiency of a powered knee-hip dermoskeleton (MyoSuit, MyoSwiss, Zurich, Switzerland) in patients with neuromuscular disorders, ii) Elaborate recommendations regarding usability criteria for safe and efficient use the device in patients with neuromuscular disorders (e.g. type and severity of patient's functional deficits), iii) generate necessary data to foresee a future study involving a home use of the device and assessment of long-term benefits.
