Robotic lower extremity exoskeleton use in a non-ambulatory child with cerebral palsy: a case study.

CONCLUSIONS: Data and anecdotal reports suggest that regular use of the Trexo Home robotic gait trainer has positive outcomes on frequency and quality of BMs, and may improve head control, and knee flexor spasticity. Larger controlled studies are needed to evaluate the impacts of Trexo use in children with CP. Implications for Rehabilitation Non-ambulatory children with CP can use and may experience benefits from using a robot-assisted gait trainer (RAGT). Constipation, aspects of balance and focal spasticity may improve. PMID: 33539714 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
