Robotic exoskeleton shows promise for muscle disease patients
NCT ID NCT05200702
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a wearable robotic suit called MyoSuit that assists knee and hip movement in people with various muscle disorders. 32 participants used the device to perform walking tests, and researchers checked for safety and any immediate improvements in walking ability. The goal was to see if the suit is safe and helpful enough to consider for home use in the future.
