About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the immediate effects of a single session of exoskeleton-assisted walking on gait parameters and plantar pressure distribution in healthy young adults. Participants will undergo baseline gait assessment using a baropodometric platform, followed by a 30-minute walking session using the Ekso NR exoskeleton. Immediately after the intervention, gait assessment will be repeated. The study is designed as a single-group, pre-post experimental evaluation of biomechanical changes associated with exoskeleton use.
