Muscle Synergies During Gait in Children With Cerebral Palsy Undergoing Robot-assisted Gait Therapy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Robot-Assisted Gait Training for Cerebral Palsy. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a single-arm longitudinal study for children with cerebral palsy with gait impairments that involves robot-assisted gait training (RGT) and includes pre and post-data collection visits. The study aims to evaluate changes in muscle synergies in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) in response to RGT. Additionally, the study aims to investigate the relationship between muscle synergies and the clinical outcomes of RGT.

Timeline
Interventions
Training will be performed using the LokomatPro. The Lokomat consists of a driven (motorized) gait orthosis (DGO) and an advanced body weight support system, combined with a treadmill. It uses computer-controlled motors which are integrated in the gait orthosis at each hip and knee joint. The exoskeleton is secured to a person's lower limbs using straps. Training protocol: Each training session will include 30 minutes of gait training. Training will take over a period of about 6-7 weeks. Sessions will last approximately 60 minutes.
