This research from the JAMA Network journal, investigates the effectiveness of overground RAGT in children with cerebral palsy using an untethered, torque-assisted, wearable exoskeletal robot. Findings from this randomized clinical trial demonstrate that overground RAGT with a wearable robot significantly improves gross motor function and gait pattern.

Children with cerebral palsy experience various gait impairments that significantly impact their daily activities and social integration. Enhancing walking ability is, therefore, a key therapeutic goal.
