NCT ID NCT07146932

First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests a wearable robotic exoskeleton called Bambini Teens in 20 children aged 5 to 14 with cerebral palsy. The device assists leg movement during walking training. Researchers will check if it is safe and easy to use, and if it improves walking speed after six 30-minute sessions over about three weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ€” not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Bambini Teens Exoskeleton (wearable robotic device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new gait training tool to improve walking ability in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The device may not improve walking or could cause discomfort.
