Summary

This study compares robotic exoskeleton gait training to traditional physical therapy in 64 adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy. Participants undergo walking tests, brain scans, and reflex measurements before and after training to see which approach improves mobility and muscle control more. The goal is to find better ways to help people with CP move more easily in daily life.
