Phase N/A
**Engaging Kids With Robotic Exoskeletons and Gamification Study** This study involves using a robotic exoskeleton, a special device worn on the legs, to help kids with walking problems. Some kids walk with a "genu recurvatum" (knees bend backward) or "crouch gait" (knees bent too much). The study takes place over 5 rehabilitation visits, lasting up to 2 hours each. The exoskeleton is paired with a fun video game that gives visual feedback to make therapy more engaging. The goal is to make therapy enjoyable and to improve kids' walking abilities over time. **Key Points:** - **Study Duration:** 5 sessions, each up to 2 hours. - **Eligibility:** Kids aged 4-21 with specific walking issues. - **Exclusions:** If a child had a Botox injection during the trial, has uncontrolled seizures, or can't follow directions. Participants will be monitored before and after each session, and results will help improve future therapy tools. This study is a great opportunity for children to enhance their mobility in a fun way.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
