The Effectiveness of Robotic Gait Training in Children With Neurological Impairment

Investigating the Effectiveness of Robotic-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) in the Rehabilitation of Children With Neurological Impairment Due to Acquired Brain Injury or Cerebral Palsy

NCT03828110•IRCCS Eugenio Medea

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The recovery of walking ability is one of the primary rehabilitation goals for children with neurological impairment. The aim of the study is to investigate the clinical effectiveness of rehabilitation treatments based of Robotic-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT). Additional goals of the research are to identify the specific effects of RAGT in children with different etiologies (acquired brain injury and cerebral palsy) and with different levels of function (according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System).
