Comparing two types of robotic rehab for spinal muscular atrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two robot-assisted rehabilitation programs to see which one helps children and young adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) improve their movement and function better. You may join if you have SMA (types 1-4), are up to 21 years old, and are already receiving medication for SMA.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a virtual reality rehabilitation program for young people with SMA (spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic muscle-weakening condition). Researchers want to understand if VR-based exercises can help improve function and quality of life.
This trial tests a personalized rehabilitation plan that uses new technology and robotic devices to help children and teens with developmental disabilities. The goal is to see if combining these tools can improve daily skills and quality of life.
This trial uses a social robot and artificial intelligence to help children with acquired brain injury do rehabilitation exercises at the hospital or at home. The robot guides them through arm and hand activities to improve movement and recovery.
This trial tests if robot-assisted training helps improve motor skills in children with cerebral palsy who can walk without major aids. It compares them to children without brain injuries.
This study compares three types of therapy for children with cerebral palsy that affects one side of the body: robotic walking training, water therapy, and standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach helps improve movement and function.
This trial tests whether riding and working with horses can improve movement and muscle control in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It may help kids build strength and coordination in a gentle, fun way.
