Clinical Efficacy of Exoskeleton Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation on Lower Limb Functional Recovery in Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture

Exclusion Criteria

• •Life expectancy of less than 6 months.
• •History of neurological disorders such as prior stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, or myasthenia gravis.
• •Severe joint contractures, deformities, or heterotopic ossification in the lower limbs that would prevent proper device fitting.
• •Body weight exceeding the device's maximum load capacity (\>100 kg).
• •Height outside the adjustable range of the device.
• •Presence of a pathological fracture or multiple fragility fractures.
• •Presence of severe osteoarthritis or trauma in the contralateral lower limb that significantly impairs function.
• •Comorbidities including active malignancy or systemic infection.
• •Comorbidities such as thromboembolic disease in the lower limbs, pneumonia, or pressure injuries (bedsores).
• •Comorbidities affecting rehabilitation capacity, including unstable angina, heart failure, severe sequelae of stroke, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or severe hepatic/renal dysfunction.
• •Poor compliance, cognitive impairment preventing cooperation, or diagnosed psychiatric disorders such as depression or anxiety.
• •Participation in any other clinical trial within the 3 months prior to screening.
