Robot help for walking after severe leg burns
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a robot that helps train walking can improve how people with severe leg burns move after surgery. If you had a large skin graft on your legs and struggle to walk, this may help you regain a more natural walking pattern.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a specific type of skin graft surgery (called a split thickness skin graft).
- Your deep burns covered at least half (50%) of your lower body (legs/buttocks).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have difficulty walking (you need help or use a wheelchair).
- You do not have burns that go into muscle or bone, severe mental or communication problems, or wounds that limit movement.
- You weigh less than 300 pounds (135 kg) and are shorter than 6 feet 5 inches (195 cm).

This study tests whether walking with a mobile robot (a device that helps move your legs) can improve your walking ability. It is for people who still have trouble walking more than 6 months after a serious burn on their legs.
This trial tests whether a hand robot that responds to your muscle signals can help improve hand function after a burn injury with nerve damage. It is for people who have healed enough to start hand therapy but still struggle with movement.
This study is testing whether a wearable robotic leg device can help stroke survivors improve their walking and leg function during rehabilitation. If you have had a stroke and can already stand and walk a little, this robot suit may help you regain more strength and mobility.
This trial tests if a special robot suit can help people with chronic stroke improve their walking. If you had a stroke 6 months to 3 years ago and can walk a little with help, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether combining core-strengthening exercises with resistance band workouts helps people walk better after a leg burn. It is designed for adults whose leg burns have healed completely within the past couple of weeks.
This study tests whether a robotic device that helps you walk can improve movement and function after you've had a severe burn and broken bone in your leg. The robot guides your leg through walking motions while you're healing, and researchers want to see if it helps you regain strength and independence faster.
