This is a trial enrolling individuals with spinal cord injuries to test the effect of walking training when wearing an external powered robotic device (ReWalk exoskeleton). Researchers will measure body composition, bone mineral density, balance, bowel and bladder function, pain, psychological well-being, and quality of life. If included, participants will undergo 40 ReWalk training sessions (3x1-hour sessions per week). An X-Ray to measure the participant’s bone density will be performed before and after the 40 sessions.
