Walking ability following hybrid assistive limb treatment for a patient with chronic myelopathy after surgery for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament.

We report the functional recovery in the walking ability of a patient with chronic cervical myelopathy following the wearable robot treatment, suggesting that as a rehabilitation tool, the wearable robot has the potential to effectively improve functional ambulation in chronic cervical myelopathy patients whose walking ability has plateaued, even many years after surgery.
