Activity‑based training with the Myosuit: a safety and feasibility study across diverse gait disorders

This study explores the use of the Myosuit, a lightweight wearable robot, to assist individuals with various gait disorders during activity-based training. The primary focus was on assessing the safety and feasibility of using the Myosuit in a diverse group of participants with neurological and neuromuscular conditions. The researchers also looked at changes in walking speed and endurance as secondary outcomes to understand participant familiarization and tolerance to the device.

• 1
  Activity-based training with the Myosuit appears to be safe, feasible, and well-tolerated by individuals with diverse motor disorders.
• 2
  Five out of eight participants who completed the study showed improved walking speed while using the Myosuit compared to their baseline.
• 3
  All three participants who completed the 2-minute walk test were able to cover a longer distance with the Myosuit than at baseline from training session 2 onwards.
