Safety and usability of EXPLORER exoskeleton in adults with neuromuscular diseases
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable robotic exoskeleton called EXPLORER to help adults with certain neuromuscular diseases walk better. You may qualify if you have trouble walking and meet specific body measurements and health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You weigh less than 100 kg (220 lbs).
- Your hip width is between 30 and 45 cm (about 12–18 inches).
- The distance from your hip joint to knee joint is 36–50 cm (14–20 inches), and from knee to floor is 43.5–59.5 cm (17–23 inches).
- You can follow simple instructions and have no severe spasticity (MAS less than 3) in your legs.
- You wear EU shoe sizes 36–45 (about US women’s 5–11 or men’s 4–11).
- You are 18–85 years old and have a diagnosis of stroke, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, or cerebral palsy, with difficulty walking that needs help from devices or another person.

This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton (a wearable device that helps legs move) to help children and teens with certain neurodevelopmental disorders learn or improve walking. The device is called EXPLORER CLÍNICO and is designed for indoor use.
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 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 walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
This trial tests a soft robotic suit (WIM Exosuit) to help people walk better. It may be an option if you have had a stroke, have Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, or are an older adult without a neurological condition.
This study tests a wearable robotic exoskeleton to help people with multiple sclerosis walk better and improve thinking/problem-solving. You would use the device during supervised sessions and take brief thinking and movement checks to see if it’s safe and helpful for you.
