| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) for incomplete spinal cord injury cases. We used this devise to four cases with conventional rehabilitation. Our outcome measures related to walking ability, such as walking index for spinal cord injury (WISCI), ASIA LEMS and modified Frankel score. Three of them were improved within two months after gait training with HAL. Though all of them were satisfied with HAL therapy. The limitation of our study were 1) the number of cases were small, 2) no control cases.
