New Recruiting Trial: Toward Ubiquitous Lower Limb Exoskeleton Use in Children and Young Adults

WHY IT MATTERS

This trial is recruiting children and young adults with lower limb mobility challenges — if you or your child has difficulty walking due to a neurological or muscular condition, this could offer access to cutting-edge assistive technology at no cost through a major research institution.

Researchers are testing whether children and young adults can use robotic leg braces (called exoskeletons) in their daily lives to help them walk and move around. An exoskeleton is a wearable machine that supports your legs and helps you move if you have difficulty walking. This study will see if these devices can become common tools that help young people with mobility challenges do everyday activities.
