Robot-assisted walking training for chronic burn survivors
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether walking with a mobile robot (a device that helps move your legs) can improve your walking ability. It is for people who still have trouble walking more than 6 months after a serious burn on their legs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You had a burn that required a skin graft, and at least half of your lower body (legs) was burned.
- You still have trouble walking (like limping or needing help) more than 6 months after the burn.
- You can walk at least a short distance without someone physically holding you (you may use a cane or walker).
- You do not have burns that go all the way to muscle, tendon, or bone (fourth-degree burns).
- Your height is between 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) and 5 feet 11 inches (185 cm), and your BMI is under 35.

This study tests whether a robotic device that helps you walk can improve movement and function after you've had a severe burn and broken bone in your leg. The robot guides your leg through walking motions while you're healing, and researchers want to see if it helps you regain strength and independence faster.
This trial tests a wearable hip robot to help people with stroke walk better at home. It may improve your gait and daily movement.
This trial tests whether using a wearable robotic device at home can improve walking ability in people who have had a stroke. If you have trouble walking due to a stroke, this study may help you regain strength and mobility.
This trial tests if a special robot suit can help people with chronic stroke improve their walking. If you had a stroke 6 months to 3 years ago and can walk a little with help, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether robot-assisted walking training helps people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to improve walking ability and leg movement for those still having some walking difficulty.
This study tests two types of robot-assisted walking training to see which one helps people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their walking. It aims to find the best way to regain mobility and independence.
