Summary

This study is testing new ways to use robotic leg braces (exoskeletons) in children and young adults who have muscle weakness from conditions like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, or spinal cord injury. Participants will try the braces while walking on a treadmill, going up and down ramps, or navigating obstacle courses. The goal is to see how well the braces help with knee movement and walking in different real-world situations.
