Testing a digital twin to guide an exoskeleton training pilot
This study tests a “digital twin” computer model to help guide an exoskeleton (an assisted device for walking) during a small pilot program. You may be invited if you can stand and walk independently for over 5 minutes and don’t have certain nerve or leg joint problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can stand by yourself and walk for more than 5 minutes
- Your age fits one of these groups: 18–50 or 50–80
- You do not have a current or past nerve (neurological) problem in your legs, such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or acute neuritis
- You do not have a current or past leg bone/joint (orthopedic) problem, such as knee replacement, rheumatoid arthritis, or sports injuries
- Your lower-extremity issues (if any) are not from the types listed in the exclusions
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests whether a passive lower-limb exoskeleton can help older adults walk better and do daily activities more easily. You will wear the device during training sessions to see if it improves your movement and independence.
This trial tests a wearable robotic device for the ankles that helps you walk on a treadmill. The researchers want to see if the device can estimate and improve how you walk.
This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
This trial tests a “human–machine” leg exoskeleton system to help people with stroke improve standing and walking during rehab. You may be able to participate if you have certain levels of disability and spasticity, can safely stand and walk with help, and don’t have skin, joint, or medical issues that would make training unsafe.
This trial tests whether a robotic leg exoskeleton can help improve walking in children and young adults with certain conditions (like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, or spinal cord injury) or those with no walking issues. The goal is to find out if the exoskeleton is safe and effective for everyday use, especially in younger people who might lose the ability to walk as they get older.
This study tests a wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
