PURPOSE: Robotic gait training is relatively new in the world of pediatric rehabilitation. Preliminary feasibility studies and case reports include stationary robot-assisted treadmill training. Mobile robotic gait trainers hold greater promise for in...
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) provides a task-based support of walking using exoskeletons. Evidence shows moderate, but positive effects in the therapy of patients with cerebral palsy (CP). This study investigates the impact of RAGT on walking ...
BACKGROUND: Motor, gait and balance disorders reduce functional capabilities for activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Robot-assisted gait therapy (RAGT) is being used to complement conventional therapy (CT) or treadmill th...
Neuromotor pathologies often cause motor deficits and deviations from typical locomotion, reducing the quality of life. Clinical gait analysis is used to effectively classify these motor deficits to gain deeper insights into resulting walking behavio...
IMPORTANCE: Early identification of cerebral palsy (CP) is important for early intervention, yet expert-based assessments do not permit widespread use, and conventional machine learning alternatives lack validity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a combined robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) with standard physiotherapy (PT) on trunk control and posture in non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP). This nonrandomized, controll...
Forecasted gait trajectories of children could be used as feedforward input to control lower limb robotic devices, such as exoskeletons and actuated orthotic devices (e.g., Powered Ankle Foot Orthosis-PAFO). Several studies have forecasted healthy ga...

Spasticity is commonly present in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and manifests itself as shaky movements, muscle tightness and joint stiffness. Accurate and objective measurement of spasticity is investigated using inertial measurement unit (IM...
Poor balance and ataxic gait are major impediments to independent living in ataxic cerebral palsy (CP). Robot assisted-gait training (RAGT) has been shown to improve the postural balance and gait function in children with CP. However, there is no rep...
In this paper, we analyzed the application value and effect of deep learn-based image segmentation model of convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm combined with 3D brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis of cerebral palsy in childre...
