Robotic suits tested to help teens with cerebral palsy walk better

NCT ID NCT05158218

Summary

This study is testing whether using a robotic exoskeleton during walking therapy leads to better mobility improvements than traditional physical therapy alone for adolescents with cerebral palsy. Researchers will compare two groups—one using the robotic suit and one using standard therapy—measuring walking speed, balance, brain activity, and other mobility tests before and after treatment. The goal is to see if the high-tech approach helps the brain and body relearn movement patterns more effectively.
