Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trial

Official title: The Efficacy of a Robotic-assisted Gait Training in Comparison to Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training on Spatio-temporal Gait Parameters Among Ambulatory Children With Cerebral Palsy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study compared the effects of RAGT and body weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) on spatio-temporal gait parameters and walking capacity among ambulatory children with bilateral CP

Clinical Trial Description

Demographic data were collected from patient medical records in the physiotherapy clinic at King Abdullah Specialist Children's Hospital and by completing the screening sheet . There were two intervention groups in this study. The first group received RAGT, while the second group received BWSTT. All participants from both intervention groups performed the home exercise program. All participants received 24 sessions three times per week over 8 weeks. Some participants were absent from some treatment sessions, either because they were suffering from flu, for reasons related to school, or other reasons. We compensated these participants with other ses-sions. Outcome measurements were assessed by a physiotherapist blinded to the group allocations. A physiotherapist assessed the participants at baseline and after treatment (at the end of 8 weeks) ;
