A randomized, cross-over trial comparing the effect of innovative robotic gait training and functional clinical therapy in children with cerebral palsy: a protocol to test feasibility

Healthier CHEO Kids 

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 intensive practice-based therapy within hospitals, schools, rehabilitation centers, and at-home therapy as they enable participation and social integration while practicing high-quality gait patterns.
