NCT ID NCT07146932

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · 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 lead to

If it works, this could provide a new gait training tool to improve walking ability in children with cerebral palsy.
