Question

  1. What is the clinical effectiveness of motorized or robotic wearable walking assistive devices for adults with compromised mobility?
  2. What is the cost-effectiveness of motorized or robotic wearable walking assistive devices for adults with compromised mobility?
  3. What are the evidence-based guidelines regarding motorized or robotic wearable walking assistive devices for adults with compromised mobility?

Key Message

One systematic review was identified but did not contain any relevant literature regarding the comparative clinical effectiveness of motorized or robotic wearable walking assistive devices for adults with compromised mobility.

No evidence for the cost-effectiveness of motorized or robotic wearable walking assistive devices for adults with compromised mobility was identified. Additionally, no evidence-based guidelines regarding motorized or robotic wearable walking assistive devices for adults with compromised mobility were identified.
