Exoskeleton-Assisted Walking for Parkinson's and Aging
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a wearable robotic exoskeleton (a powered leg device) can help people with Parkinson's disease and older adults walk better and stay active. Researchers want to see if this technology improves mobility and reduces fall risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can walk for at least 30 minutes, with or without a cane or walker
- You are at least 152 cm (about 5 feet) tall
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted life-support device
- You do not have severe bone weakness (osteoporosis) or high fracture risk
- You are able to do moderate physical activity without medical contraindication
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems

This study tests whether a passive lower-limb exoskeleton can help older adults walk better and do daily activities more easily. You will wear the device during training sessions to see if it improves your movement and independence.
This trial tests a soft robotic suit (WIM Exosuit) to help people walk better. It may be an option if you have had a stroke, have Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, or are an older adult without a neurological condition.
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 trial tests a new lower-limb exoskeleton (a wearable robot) designed to help people walk more easily. Although the device may be useful for stroke survivors, this early-phase study is enrolling healthy volunteers without neurological conditions to safely evaluate the device's performance.
This study tests a wearable robot (exoskeleton) that helps you walk better after a stroke. You might benefit if you can already walk on your own but want to improve your walking ability.
This study tests whether walking with a robotic exoskeleton changes how healthy young adults walk. It may help improve walking patterns or fitness.
