Abstract

This pilot study investigated the efficacy of a four week robot-assisted gait training in twelve childrenwith spastic diparesis. Short-term results and a 3-month follow-up showed statistically significantly increased selective motor control, walking farther distances, gross motor score, and decreased joint contractures.
