Although robotic-assisted locomotor treadmill therapy is utilized on children with cerebral palsy (CP), its impact on the gait pattern in childhood is not fully described. We investigated the outcome of robotized gait training focusing on the gait pa...
BACKGROUND: No general recommendations are yet available for the application of robot-assisted treadmill therapy for children with cerebral palsy regarding the length and intensity of the intervention.
BACKGROUND: Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) are common causes of motor disability in childhood. Gait exoskeletons are currently being used as part of rehabilitation for children with walking difficulties.

Motor function and coordination improve as children age. Robotic assessments of motor function and coordination have been shown to be repeatable, objective, and accurate. Additionally, robotic assessments have been used to measure and quantify defici...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) allows an intensive gait training in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). There are few evidences on the effectiveness of RAGT in adults with CP.
