Robotic exoskeleton and game-based therapy for kids
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 4 and 21 years old.
- You have a knee that bends backward (genu recurvatum) or you walk with your knees bent (crouch gait).
- You can walk without stopping for at least 6 minutes.
- You are willing to do 5 therapy sessions, each up to 2 hours.
- You will not get Botox injections during the study.
- You have no uncontrolled seizures and can understand instructions in English.

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.
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 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 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 wearable robotic suit (exoskeleton) made for children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps with walking and movement. It may be an option if your child can already walk with some help and meets the size and flexibility requirements.
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.
