Testing a walking robot for kids with spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable robotic exoskeleton called ATLAS 2030 to help children with a spinal cord injury practice standing and walking. The goal is to see if it is safe and easy to use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 3 and 14 years old.
- Child has a spinal cord injury that is not brand new (subacute or chronic) and is stable enough for therapy.
- Doctor has approved standing and walking practice with the exoskeleton.
- Child weighs 35 kg (about 77 lbs) or less.
- Child's hip width, thigh length, shin length, and shoe size fit within the device's limits (these will be measured by the study team).

This trial tests whether a wearable exoskeleton can help people with recent spinal cord injury improve their walking ability and quality of life. It focuses on patients treated in the Spanish healthcare system.
This trial tests a self-balancing exoskeleton (a wearable robotic device) to help people with spinal cord injury stand and walk. It is for people with injury at or above T6, at least 6 months past injury, and a caregiver who can help during the study visits.
This study tests a self-balancing robotic exoskeleton device designed to help people with spinal cord injuries stand and walk. Researchers will assess whether the device improves mobility and quality of life over nine visits to a research center.
This trial tests a self-balancing exoskeleton (a wearable robotic suit) to help people with spinal cord injuries stand and walk. It is designed for those with injuries at or above the T6 level and looks at how well the device works and how it feels to use.
This trial tests a wearable robot (exoskeleton) that helps people with spinal cord injuries walk at home. If you have a chronic injury and a helper, you may be able to join.
This study tests a combination of a robotic walking device and spinal cord stimulation to see if it helps improve muscle and bone health in people who have had a spinal cord injury for more than 3 years and cannot walk.
