The presentation will discuss a qualitative study that explored the use of overground robotic exoskeletons after spinal cord injury (SCI) in a clinical and community setting from the perspectives of industry leaders, researchers, clinicians, and people with lived SCI experience.

Learning Objectives:

Describe outcomes of ORE use in the clinical and community context from the perspectives of industry, research, clinicians, and people with lived experience.
Analyze current and future challenges and opportunities for optimizing ORE use and adoption across clinical and community practice.
Discuss factors that may contribute to the advancement of ORE.
