Case Report: Robot-assisted gait training with the wearable cyborg hybrid assistive limb 2S size in three children with cerebral palsy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Recently, robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) has attracted attention as a rehabilitation method to efficiently improve walking function. The purpose of this case report is to examine whether there is a change in gait function after RAGT with HAL in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods

Three children with CP participated in this study. Case 1 was an 8-year-old boy with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level II. Case 2 involved a 9-year-old girl with a class IV GMFCS. Case 3 was that of a 10-year-old boy with class IV GMFCS. RAGT was conducted once a day for 20 min for a total of 11-12 sessions. Gait was assessed before and after RAGT. We assessed using three-dimensional motion analysis and surface electromyography (sEMG). The sEMG signals
