- Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Single Group AssignmentIntervention Model Description: All together each included patient will attend five sessions. First session includes an orthostatic test and other baseline measurements. In order to describe test-to-test variation (reliability) when using the devices, two sessions are held in standard standing table (A) and two sessions in Innowalk Pro (B), preferably within the same week. If, for practical reasons, this is not feasible, training is allowed in the following week. The order of the workouts is block randomized to ABAB or BABA at inclusion. The orthostic test and the training session are estimated to last approx. 1 hour including all measurements.Masking: None (Open Label)Primary Purpose: Treatment
Participation Requirements
- Age
- Between 18 years and 85 years
- Gender
- Both males and females

Several studies underline the importance of early mobilization of patients with brain injuries, leading to shorter hospital stays, less contractures, and improved general function. The routine mobilization treatment in the rehabilitation of patients with severe brain injuries in Sunnaas Rehabilitation hospital is initial use of a tilt table where tilt angle is gradually increased, and when tolerated standing in a classic standing frame where the pasient's lower body is fixed to the device in an upright standing position. Innowalk Pro is a robotic standing device where legs are fixed, but passively moved by electric motors in an upright standing position. An assumption is that standing in Innowalk pro might be better tolerated at an earlier stage of rehabilitation than standing in a classic standing frame.
