Overground robotic walker use in the home and community: a six-month prospective cohort study
Six months of overground robotic walker use resulted in modest, statistically significant improvements in functional ability and secondary outcomes linked to physical inactivity. Device usage time was consistent over time, suggesting feasibility of long-term home and community use.
