Walking aid study for children with movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 2 and 17 years old.
- You have a movement disorder such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or multiple sclerosis (or you are in a first phase testing the device on kids without these conditions).
- Your doctor says it is safe for you to stand and walk with support.
- Your weight is 60 kg (132 lbs) or less.
- Your hip width is 40 cm (about 16 inches) or less, and your leg lengths fit within the device's size range.
- You do not have severe muscle tightness, joint stiffness, or skin problems that would prevent using the device.

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.
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 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.
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 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.
