A robotic walking suit for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 5 and 14 years old and have a cerebral palsy diagnosis.
- Be able to walk 10 meters (about 33 feet) with a walker or help from one person.
- Be between 110 and 160 cm tall (about 3.5 to 5.2 feet) and weigh less than 65 kg (about 145 lbs).
- Have enough flexibility in the legs to use the device and no severe stiffness or contractures.
- Be able to follow directions and communicate enough to participate in motor (movement) rehabilitation.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
