About this trial
This project will develop a wearable rehabilitation robot suitable for in-bed acute stage rehabilitation. It involves robot-guided motor relearning, passive and active motor-sensory rehabilitation early in the acute stage post-TBI including patients who are paralyzed with no motor output. The early acute TBI rehabilitation device will be evaluated in this clinical trial.
