Robotic leg brace could help kids with CP walk better at home
NCT ID NCT06622655
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a powered leg brace called Agilik can help children with cerebral palsy who walk with bent knees (crouch gait). Forty children will either use the device at home for 2 months or receive standard therapy. Researchers will measure changes in walking endurance and knee extension, and check for any medical problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Agilik powered orthosis (a wearable robotic device that helps with knee extension during walking)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new home-based therapy to improve walking endurance and knee control for children with cerebral palsy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all. The device may not provide lasting improvement or could cause discomfort or safety issues.
