Robotic exoskeleton study to improve walking in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how safely using a pediatric robotic exoskeleton over the long term can improve how children walk. It’s for children ages 3–17 who have certain movement or spine-related conditions and who can meet walking and joint-movement requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is 3 to 17 years old
- Has a movement-related diagnosis that affects walking (cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, or incomplete spinal cord injury)
- Can walk at least 10 feet without stopping (with or without a walking aid)
- Joint movement checks: knee motion, ankle motion, and foot-thigh angle must fall within set ranges
- Parents/guardians and child can sign required consent/assent and can follow the study for the full time

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton called ABLE Kids to help children with walking difficulties due to neurological or muscle conditions. It checks if the device is safe and works well. Children who meet certain size and health requirements may be eligible to participate.
This study tests whether robot-assisted walking training (using a device called Lokomat) can improve how well children and young adults with cerebral palsy can move and walk. It is for people who can walk with some help or use a walker/wheelchair.
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 robotic exoskeleton designed to help children with cerebral palsy walk better. The device supports the legs during walking, and the goal is to see if it can improve movement and daily life.
This study tests whether a robotic device called Bambini Kids can safely help children with cerebral palsy improve their walking and movement. The robot assists with gait training—guided walking practice—to see if it helps strengthen muscles and improve mobility.
This study tests a robotic exoskeleton (like a wearable robot) combined with fun video game activities to help kids and young adults improve their walking. It is designed for people who have certain knee problems when they walk.
