Summary

A peer-reviewed case report (published via nature.com/Spinal Cord journal) describes a proximal tibia (leg bone) fracture sustained by a spinal-cord-injury patient during robotic treadmill gait training, the modality Hocoma's Lokomat is used for. The article does not name Hocoma or the Lokomat brand explicitly in the fetched summary, so the link to this specific manufacturer's device is inferred from category/product overlap rather than confirmed in the text.
