What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tested prefabricated carbon fiber ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) in 65 children and teenagers with conditions like cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or spinal cord injuries that affect walking. Researchers measured stride length, walking speed, and user satisfaction by comparing 3D gait analysis with and without the brace. The goal was to see if these lightweight carbon braces improve walking and are a good option for young patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
prefabricated carbon fiber ankle-foot orthosis (WalkOn AFO)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that carbon orthoses are a helpful option to improve walking in children with neurological conditions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a controlled trial. Results may not apply to all children, and the orthosis may not work for everyone.
