Simple Explanation

This article is a correction to a previously published study. The correction involves updated values in Table 3, specifically for the WISCI-II variable. The original article investigated the impact of exoskeleton-based training on walking independence in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.

Study Duration

Not specified

Participants

Incomplete spinal cord injury patients

Evidence Level

Randomized controlled trial

Key Findings

1
The intervention group (IG) showed significant improvements in 10MWT, TUG, 6MWT, WISCI-II, and SCIM-III.
2
The control group (CG) also showed significant improvements in 10MWT, TUG, 6MWT and SCIM-III.
3
There were significant differences between the intervention group and the control group in WISCI-II.

Research Summary

This is a correction to a previously published article regarding exoskeleton-based training for incomplete spinal cord injury patients. The correction involves updating the WISCI-II variable values in Table 3. The original study examined the effects of exoskeleton training on walking independence using a randomized controlled trial design.

Practical Implications

Improved Understanding of Outcomes

Ensures accurate data for interpreting the effectiveness of exoskeleton training.

Clinical Practice

Provides clinicians with corrected outcome measures for treatment planning.

Future Research

Offers reliable data for meta-analyses and systematic reviews on exoskeleton interventions.

Study Limitations

1
The correction only addresses the WISCI-II variable in Table 3.
2
The study focuses on incomplete spinal cord injury patients only.
3
The long-term effects of exoskeleton training are not addressed in this correction.
