Robot-assisted walking training for cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether robot-assisted walking training (using a device called Lokomat) can improve how well children and young adults with cerebral palsy can move and walk. It is for people who can walk with some help or use a walker/wheelchair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cerebral palsy and are between 3 and 23 years old.
- Your movement level is GMFCS II, III, or IV (you can walk with help or use a walker/wheelchair).
- Your thigh bone (femur) is at least 21 centimeters long (a doctor can check this).
- You have had a hip X-ray in the last 3 months.
- An orthopedic specialist has recommended robotic therapy for you within the last month.
- You have a valid doctor's referral and a signed consent form from a parent or guardian.

This trial tests if robot-assisted training helps improve motor skills in children with cerebral palsy who can walk without major aids. It compares them to children without brain injuries.
This study compares three types of therapy for children with cerebral palsy that affects one side of the body: robotic walking training, water therapy, and standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach helps improve movement and function.
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.
This trial tests whether walking practice with real-time feedback (“biofeedback”) can improve how people with cerebral palsy move their legs. It’s designed to help with safer, more efficient walking during treadmill training.
This study tests a biofeedback system added to robotic walking training for children with cerebral palsy. The robot helps move the legs while a screen gives real-time feedback, aiming to improve walking ability.
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.
