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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This small study tested whether a robotic bodyweight support system combined with smart insoles that beep at the right time can help adults with cerebral palsy walk better. Five adults completed 6 training sessions. Researchers measured walking speed, endurance, and joint movement to see if the approach could be used at home for self-care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bodyweight support system and smart insoles with auditory feedback
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a home-based training method to improve walking in adults with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 5 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is short-term and may not lead to lasting improvements.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 65 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults with cerebral palsy (18-65 years old) * Ambulation of a distance of 100 feet with or without the use of assistive devices. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe Equinovarus foot or Genu recurvatum of the knee * Surgery within 6 months will be excluded. * Individuals with pregnancy * Lower limb prosthetics * Severe respiratory problems such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, a loss of sensation, uncontrolled blood pressure, * Seizure disorder * Severe arthritis
