Robotic gait training may boost movement and breathing in kids with CP

This study tested whether adding robot-assisted walking training to standard physical therapy helps children with cerebral palsy move better, breathe easier, and function more in daily life. Twenty-four children aged 8-16 with spastic CP took part in a 12-week program. The experimental group used a robotic walking device alongside conventional exercises, while the control group did only standard therapy. Researchers measured motor skills, lung function, and spasticity before and after the program.
