Study Summary
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the usefulness of a wearable robotic exoskeleton device (Ekso-GT), to improve learning and memory, and gait therapy in persons with walking disability due to Multiple Sclerosis. The study will evaluate the mobility, learning and memory, and walking abilities of individuals with multiple sclerosis who went through the traditional as compared to others who used the robotic exoskeleton as part of their therapy.
Primary Outcome
The distance walked (meters) in 6 minutes is measured. This is following the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) procedure to measure walking endurance. The 6MWT is is a valid and reliable test of endurance walking performance in persons with MS. Participants are instructed to walk as fast and as far as possible for 6 minutes within a single corridor and performing 180° turns.
