Read our Parkinson's Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a portable exoskeleton device called Keeogo to see if it can help people with Parkinson's disease walk better and more safely. An exoskeleton is a lightweight wearable robot that fits around your legs and provides support and assistance as you walk. The study will check whether this device is safe to use and whether it actually helps improve mobility in people at different stages of Parkinson's disease.
While physical therapy and exercise can help Parkinson's patients with movement problems, their benefits are limited. Most people with Parkinson's eventually need assistive devices to help them get around, and researchers believe that robotic-assist technology like this exoskeleton could offer a new way to improve walking ability, prevent falls, and help patients stay more independent.
You likely qualify if…
You likely don't qualify if…
You would visit the Richmond VA Medical Center for an initial screening to make sure the exoskeleton fits you and that you're strong enough to use it. During this visit, you would try walking with the Keeogo for up to 20 minutes to see how you tolerate it. If you qualify, you would then participate in gait training sessions using the device as researchers monitor your safety and track any improvements in your walking ability and balance.
