Effect of Robot-Assisted Gait Training in a Large Population of Children With Motor Impairment Due to Cerebral Palsy or Acquired Brain Injury.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate retrospectively the effect of robotic rehabilitation in a large group of children with motor impairment; an additional goal was to identify the effects in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and acquired brain injury (ABI) and with different levels of motor impairment according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System. Finally, we examined the effect of time elapsed f...
