Safety and immediate effects of Hybrid Assistive Limb in children with cerebral palsy: A pilot study

Early intervention is effective for developing motor ability and preventing contractures and deformities in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Gait training using the newly developed Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) shows promise as an intervention to prevent deterioration in walking ability and deformities in pediatric CP patients. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the safety and immediate effects on walking ability after gait training using the HAL in pediatric CP patients.
