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 different stiffness settings on a robotic exercise machine during arm and leg training for children with SMA. The goal is to see which setting works best to improve muscle strength and function.
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 tests whether a special type of physiotherapy using horseback riding can help improve movement and function in children with spinal muscular atrophy. It is a gentle, supported therapy that may help with strength, balance, and coordination.
This study tests whether intensive physiotherapy with a robotic exoskeleton helps people with spinal cord injuries improve movement and function. The robot supports your legs while you practice walking, aiming to boost recovery.
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.
