Robotic Gait Training for Individuals With Cerebral Palsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To identify the effects of robotic gait training practices in individuals with cerebral palsy.

Data Sources: The search was performed in the following electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, Medline (OvidSP), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science, Scopus, Compendex, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, Academic Search Premier, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database.

Study Selection: Studies were included if they fulfilled the following criteria: (1) they investigated the effects of robotic gait training, (2) they involved patients with cerebral palsy, and (3) they enrolled patients classified between levels I and IV using the Gross Motor Function Classification System.
