A close examination of this article shows surprising coincidences, in that two primary studies (references 25 and 33 in the reference list) report the same proportions and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of subjects able to ambulate with an exoskeleton without assistance (Figure 2 of the study), and two different primary studies (references 26 and 28) report the same mean and 95% CIs for the distance (in meters) walked in a 6-minute walk test (Figure 4 of the study).View the original paper by Miller and colleagues.Dijkers MPAkers KGGalen SSPatzer DEVu PTDove Medical Pressarticleambulationexoskeletonsspinal cord injuriesMedical technologyR855-855.5ENMedical Devices: Evidence and Research, Vol Volume 9, Pp 419-421 (2016)
