RAPPER II is a 100-patient study to measure the time taken for wheelchair users to mobilise in a Rex unit and complete an exercise regime. The study also intends to provide a better understanding of the severity of injury that can be safely treated with a Rex unit. The first patient has successfully completed the assessment and the data from the first cohort of patients are expected to be presented before the end of 2015. Trials such as this and RAPPER I, are key to driving adoption and therefore although it is still in its early stages, it is encouraging to see the trial get off to a good start.
