Robot suit gives hope to kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT07539389
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a robot suit called Bambini Kids that helps children with cerebral palsy move their legs in a more natural way. The goal is to see if it is safe and can improve walking and daily activities. About 30 children aged 2 to 10 will take part. The robot provides repetitive, high-intensity training that may be more effective than standard physical therapy alone.
