Metabolic diseases disproportionately affect people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Increasing energy expenditure and remodeling body composition may offset deleterious consequences of SCI to improve cardiometabolic health. Evidence is emerging that robotic exoskeleton use increases physical activity in SCI, but little is known about its effects on energy expenditure and body composition. This study therefore aimed to evaluate the impact of robotic exoskeleton training on body composition and energy expenditure in adults with SCI. A systematic literature review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Five databases were searched to retrieve studies meeting pre-set eligibility criteria: adults with SCI, interventions evaluating the effects of robotic exoskeleton devices on body composition or energy expenditure. The PEDro scale guided quality assessments with findings described narratively. Of 2163 records, 10 studies were included. Robotic exoskeleton training does not significantly improve energy expenditure compared to other exercise interventions. Significant changes (P < 0.05) in body composition, particularly reduced fat mass, however, were reported. High variability seen with the interventions was coupled with poor quality of the studies. While robotic exoskeleton interventions may propose modest cardiometabolic benefits in adults with SCI, further robust trials in larger samples are needed to strengthen these findings.
