The device enables patients to stand upright safely, to perform short steps (EarlyGait) or longer steps (RealGait), and to walk either in passive mode (with full assistance) or in active mode (with partial assistance depending on patient capacity). Sessions are delivered 2 to 3 times per week for up to 2 weeks or until ICU discharge. Each session starts with standing and progressively increases in intensity, with parameters such as duration, number of steps, verticalization time, and assistance level recorded. Training is conducted by certified staff, with the primary objective of evaluating safety and feasibility, and secondary outcomes including usability and preliminary effectiveness.",[13],"Device: Self-balancing robotic exoskeleton (Atalante X)",[15],{"type":16,"name":17,"description":18,"armGroupLabels":19,"otherNames":20},"DEVICE","Self-balancing robotic exoskeleton (Atalante X)","This intervention consists of early mobilization sessions using the Atalante X, a self-balancing robotic exoskeleton (Wandercraft).

Early mobilization has been shown to improve outcomes, but its implementation is often limited by patient fragility and staff resources.\n\nThis study will test the safety and feasibility of using the Atalante X, a self-balancing exoskeleton, in the Thoracic Surgical ICU at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The exoskeleton is designed to support patients in standing and walking, even if they have limited strength or balance, thereby reducing the physical burden on healthcare staff and increasing patient mobility.\n\nEligible participants are adults recovering from thoracic surgery, who are debilitated (Johns Hopkins Highest Level of Mobility scale ≤ 5). Each participant will undergo up to 2-3 exoskeleton sessions per week for a maximum of 2 weeks. Sessions will be personalized, with progressive standing time and walking depending on patient tolerance.\n\nThe primary goal is to evaluate the safety of exoskeleton use, measured by adverse events such as skin lesions, cardiovascular instability, or accidental device-related issues.\n\nThe secondary goals are to evaluate:\n\nFeasibility (ability to deliver sessions as planned, duration of standing\u002Fwalking, level of assistance needed),\n\nUsability (patient and staff satisfaction, ease of donning\u002Fdoffing, staff workload), and\n\nPreliminary effectiveness (improvement in mobility scores at discharge).\n\nResults will provide early insights into whether robotic exoskeletons can be safely integrated into ICU rehabilitation programs after thoracic surgery.",[66,67,68],"Critical Illness","Post Operative Complication","Thoracic Surgery",[68,70,71,72,73],"Postoperative Care","Atalante X Exoskeleton","Early Mobilisation","Intensive Care Unit (ICU)","2025-10-22",{"date":76,"type":77},"2025-10-24","ACTUAL",{"date":79,"type":59},"2025-10",{"date":81,"type":59},"2026-02",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
