Robot walks with kids: new therapy for cerebral palsy shows promise

NCT ID NCT06645795

First seen May 23, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding robot-assisted walking training to regular physiotherapy can improve body composition (like muscle and fat) and daily function in children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including cerebral palsy. Nine children will each try both the robot therapy and standard physiotherapy in a crossover design. The goal is to see if the robot help is safe, comfortable, and leads to better physical health.
