Exoskeleton study for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a robotic exoskeleton designed to help children with cerebral palsy walk better. The device supports the legs during walking, and the goal is to see if it can improve movement and daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 5 and 14 years old.
- Your child has cerebral palsy.
- Your child can walk 10 meters with a walker, cane, or help from one person.
- Your child can fit into the device – height 110–160 cm (about 3.5 to 5.2 feet) and weight less than 65 kg (145 lbs).
- No Botox injections in the legs within the last 4 months, no seizure disorder that's not under control, and no other major health issues that would make walking hard.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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 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.
