Relevance – Recent technological advances have led to development of powered exoskeletal devices that enable gait in persons with paralysis. However, energy expenditure required to use powered exoskeleton has not been reported.

Measurements of oxygen uptake (VO2) and HR were recorded for 6 min each during each maneuver while sitting, standing, and walking.
