Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Cerebral Palsy
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: A Phase I/II Trial Evaluating Long-Term Use of a Pediatric Robotic Exoskeleton (P.REX/Agilik) to Improve Gait in Children With Movement Disorders
Brief Summary:
Background:People with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injury often have muscle weakness and problems controlling how their legs move.This can affect how they walk.The NIH has designed a robotic device (exoskeleton) that can be worn on the legs while walking.The wearable robot offers a new form of gait training.Objective:To learn whether a robotic device worn on the legs can improve walking ability in those with a gait disorder.Eligibility:People aged 3 to 17 years with a gait…
