Testing a walking exoskeleton for children with movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 2 to 17 years
- Diagnosis of a neurodevelopmental disorder like cerebral palsy, neuromuscular disease, lower motor neuron disorder, or multiple sclerosis (for Phase 1)
- A doctor says it's safe to stand up and put weight on legs for walking training
- Weight under 60 kg (about 132 pounds)
- Hip width less than 40 cm and leg measurements fit the device (hip to knee 21–36 cm, knee to ankle 20–35 cm)
- No medical conditions that make standing or walking unsafe, like severe contractures, recent fractures, or heart problems
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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.
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 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.
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 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.
