Abstract
Objective: The purpose of the case study was to investigate the immediate effect of Robot-assisted gait training in children with spastic bilateral cerebral palsy (CP). Method: This case study reports on the outcomes of a 8-week intervention of robotic-assisted gait training administered to 5 years and 6 years old children with spastic bilateral CP each. Results: Improvements were noted in gait velocity, cadence, and YJ's motor function improved by 51 % to 56 % in the areas of walking, running and hopping. SW's motor function improved from 74 % to 79 %, and walking, running, and hopping areas improved from 51 % to 53 %. Conclusion: Robotic-assisted gait training may be beneficial in enhancing locomotion in children with CP.
