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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 pilot study tests whether robot-assisted gait training can improve walking in people with lower limb burns and fractures. Five participants will receive 30 minutes of robot training plus 30 minutes of conventional therapy daily for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if this combination helps restore walking ability better than standard care alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
robot-assisted gait training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better rehabilitation method for people with severe leg burns and fractures, helping them walk again more effectively.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 5 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The approach is still experimental and needs much larger trials to confirm any benefit.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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

About 5 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Apr 2024

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

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 70 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: * aged 19 years or older * admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine after the wound had epithelialized following wound treatment via skin grafting or aseptic dressing procedures * underwent fixation or brace treatment after a lower limb fracture was diagnosed via imaging at the time of injury * sufficient cognitive function to follow the therapist's instructions during training * a functional ambulatory category (FAC) of 1 or higher and 3 or lower. Exclusion Criteria: * unable to bear weight owing to fracture union failure or complications such as osteomyelitis * severe pain rendering the patient unable to wear the robotic device * scars that may bleed or become infected when wearing the robotic device * a history of lower limb weakness or reduced gait ability due to other causes prior to injury * lower limb sensory disturbances caused by peripheral neuropathic diseases such as diabetes * height less than 120 cm or body mass more than 120 kg * withdrawal of consent.
