Purpose: With few treatment options available for non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP), a robotic lower extremity gait trainer may provide a non-invasive addition to conventional treatment options. This case study investigates the usage and impact of robotic lower extremity gait trainer use in a participant with CP over the initial 3 months of use.
Materials And Methods: This prospective case study involves a 7-year old female (GMFCS V) with CP (registered clinical trial: NCT04251390).
