Brain‐Computer Interface‐Controlled Exoskeleton Training for Lower‐Limb Rehabilitation in Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial
BCI-controlled exoskeleton training enhanced motor function, walking performance, and depressive symptoms more than exoskeleton training alone, likely through cortical reorganization. Extended training may further consolidate these benefits, supporting BCI-exoskeleton integration as a promising rehabilitation strategy for SCI. ANN NEUROL 2026.
