First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a motorized orthosis (Innowalk) that mimics walking is better tolerated by children with cerebral palsy than standard standing devices. The trial included 25 children aged 6-16 who had never walked. Researchers measured pain, muscle stiffness, and joint movement over 6 weeks. The goal was to see if the device could reduce discomfort and improve mobility.
