Preliminary mobility studies with SCI show subjects had similar speeds when tested for all walking measures.
Average walking speed for complete paraplegics using Indego® was 0.35 m/s (0.4 m/s is considered a functional
speed for gait outside the home). Indego® mobility with FES option for persons with motor complete SCI shows
that muscle contribution from otherwise paralyzed muscles ranges from 27% to 95%.

A unique approach between clinicians and engineers since the year 2009 offers advances in exoskeleton
technology for persons with SCI. Based on preliminary results, the potential for Indego® to provide personal
mobility and functional recovery for persons with neurological diagnoses is promising. Secondary health benefits
for persons with SCI being upright and walking is an ongoing aspect of our investigation. (1)

The association between level of cannabis consumption and mortality during a 15-year follow-up was studied in a cohort of 45,540 Swedish conscripts. The relative risk of death among high consumers of cannabis (use on more than 50 occasions) was 2.8 (95% confidence interval (1.9-4.1)) compared with non-users. However, after control for social background variables in a multivariate model, no excess mortality was found. A high level of consumption of other drugs was also associated with increased mortality; the relative risk of high consumption (>50 times) was 4.6 (2.4-8.5) compared with non-users. After adjustment for social background a relative risk of 1.2 (0.8-1.9) remained; for those having used drugs intravenously more than once, the relative risk was 1.6 (0.9-2.7). Among causes of death a strong predominance was found for violent death, suicide or uncertain suicide being the single most important accounting for 34.4% of all deaths. The proportion of suicides increased sharply with the level of cannabis consumption. (1)
