Exoskeleton walking aid for adults with nerve and muscle conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable robotic exoskeleton called EXPLORER that helps people with muscle or nerve conditions walk better. It aims to see if the device is safe and easy to use, and it may improve your mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must weigh less than 100 kilograms (about 220 pounds).
- Your hip width should be between 30 and 45 centimeters, and your leg lengths within specific ranges.
- You need to be between 18 and 85 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis such as stroke, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, or cerebral palsy that makes walking difficult.
- Your leg muscle stiffness must be moderate (not severe).
- You cannot have certain heart or lung conditions that limit exercise, or recent surgeries.
- You must be able to follow simple instructions.

This study tests a robotic walking suit (exoskeleton) to help children and teens with conditions like cerebral palsy or muscle disorders walk. It aims to see if the device is safe, easy to use, and helpful for daily walking.
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 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 new lower-limb exoskeleton (a wearable robot) designed to help people walk more easily. Although the device may be useful for stroke survivors, this early-phase study is enrolling healthy volunteers without neurological conditions to safely evaluate the device's performance.
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.
