Can a robotic suit help kids with neurological conditions walk better?
NCT ID NCT07745712
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing a robotic exoskeleton called ABLE Kids to see if it is safe and practical for children who have trouble walking due to conditions like cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, or muscle weakness. Fifteen children will use the device in up to ten one-hour training sessions over three weeks. The study will measure how well the device works, how easy it is to put on and take off, and whether it may offer any benefits for walking and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ABLE Kids exoskeleton
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safe, effective way for children with neurological gait disorders to practice walking, potentially improving mobility and independence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage study focused on safety and feasibility, not proof of benefit. The device may not work for all children, and there is a risk of discomfort or device-related issues.
