Six of seven children with cerebral palsy ages 5 to 19 who were
outfitted with a robotic exoskeleton had better crouch gait and knee extension
after six training sessions, as well as postural improvements similar to those
seen in children who have corrective surgery. The findings in Science
Translational Medicine suggest that robotic exoskeletons may be used to
complement standard treatment for youths with cerebral palsy but more long-term
studies are needed, said lead author Zachary Lerner.
