Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Cerebral Palsy
  • Age: 4 years - 18 years
  • Gender: All

This study investigates the effects of robotic therapy on children with cerebral palsy (CP). Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects movement and muscle tone, often caused by damage to the brain before or at birth. The study aims to determine if repetitive practice of walking movements using robotic therapy can improve lower extremity function, motor performance, and bone health in these children.

Participants in this study will undergo robotic therapy sessions where they will practice walking movements repetitively. This therapy involves using a machine that helps guide and support the child's legs as they walk, providing consistent practice to potentially improve their physical abilities.

  • Who can participate: Children diagnosed with cerebral palsy are eligible to participate in this study. Participants should be within the age range specified by the study criteria.
  • Study details: Participants will engage in robotic therapy sessions designed to improve their walking abilities. The therapy uses a machine that assists with walking movements, allowing for repetitive practice.
