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 robot that helps train walking can improve how people with severe leg burns move after surgery. If you had a large skin graft on your legs and struggle to walk, this may help you regain a more natural walking pattern.
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 robot that helps you walk and lets you watch yourself on video to improve your recovery. It is for people who had a stroke 6 to 12 months ago and can already walk a short distance.
This trial tests whether a hand robot that responds to your muscle signals can help improve hand function after a burn injury with nerve damage. It is for people who have healed enough to start hand therapy but still struggle with movement.
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.
