Study Aims to Compare the Effect of Robotic-assisted Gait Training and Conventional Treadmill Training on Postural Stability in Ambulatory Children With Cerebral Palsy.

In the researchers' words

The aim of this study is to explore the impact of gait training with a robotic device versus treadmill training on enhancing postural stability and walking capabilities in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The main questions to answer are children with CP who receive Robotic gait training will improve more in their postural stability compared with children with CP who received gait training on Treadmill? Are children with CP who receive Robotic gait training will improve more in their gross motor functions compared with children with CP who received gait training on Treadmill Are children with CP who receive Robotic gait training will improve more in their walking distance compared with children with CP who received gait training on Treadmill? Researchers will compare Group A to Group B to see if Robotic gait training has more effect on their outcomes than treadmill. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two group and will receive gait training for 3 times per week for eight weeks. Outcome measures will be assessed in the base line before starting intervention and after completing intervention. Study Design A randomized control trial (RCT) Participants and Recruitment The trial will be conducted in Pediatric Out-Patient Rehabilitation Services (Clinic 750) at king Abdullah Specialized Children Hospital (KASCH), National Guard Hospital (NGH) in Riyadh, Saudi…
