Exclusion Criteria
Patients with any signs and symptoms showing that the participant is unwilling to participate in the study will result in the patient being excluded from participation Any medical condition preventing participation such as Severe respiratory disease Severe OR unstable cardio-circulatory conditions Orthopaedic conditions, especially in extremities targeted for rehabilitation such as
- fixed joint contractures limiting range of motion
- non-consolidated fractures Neuro-psychological conditions including cognitive deficits limiting communication or non-cooperation like (self-) aggressive behaviour Infections or inflammatory diseases, like osteomyelitis
Specific absolute contraindication for the training with any of the respective devices:
- Improper fit of the device, including its harness to relevant extremity(ies)
- Contraindicated training position (standing, sitting)
