“…25 According to a study by Klobucka et al, gross motor functions were significantly improved after RAGT in 78 patients with CP. 26 In another study, van Hedel et al investigated changes in gait-related outcomes after RAGT in children with CP of various GMFCS levels and reported that children who were GMFCS level 4 exhibited significant improvement after the training in terms of gait-related outcomes, whereas there was no significant difference between the groups of different GMFCS levels. 27 Consistent with the studies by Gilliaux et al 23 and Smania et al, 24 our study also showed that a neurophysiology-based treatment approach alone or combined with RAGT produced similar effects on functionality, balance and performance.…”

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on motor functions, spasticity status, balance, and functionality in children with cerebral palsy (CP). A total of 26 patients who were diagnosed with CP (diplegic, with gross motor function classification system [GMFCS] levels of 2–5) and who regularly participated in a rehabilitation program were recruited in the study after obtaining approval from their parents. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 (n = 13) received conventional physical therapy (65 minutes, 2 days/week × 8) and group 2 (n = 13) received 25 minutes of RAGT (RoboGait) in addition to conventional therapy (CT; 40 minutes, 2 days/week × 8). GMFCS was used to evaluate motor functions and the Modified Ashworth Scale was used to evaluate spasticity. The pediatric Berg balance scale, pediatric functional independence measure, and timed up and go tests were employed to assess balance and functional status. The evaluations were performed at baseline and after 8 weeks of therapy. Both rehabilitation methods led to a statistically significant decrease in spasticity (p < 0.05); however, there was no difference in this improvement of spasticity between the groups (p > 0.05). Both groups exhibited significant improvements in functional independence, balance, and performance at the end of therapy (p < 0.05), and there was no significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05). The results of this study show that addition of RAGT to CT for 8 weeks is not superior to CT alone in children with CP.

“…Todavia nos últimos anos, comprovou-se através de diversas pesquisas e estudos experimentais, que dispositivos aplicados a partes do corpo -meios mecânicos -quando bem indicados e ajustados podem, ao contrário do que se acreditava, facilitar a atividade motora. (Philot, 1999 a, b;Ryan et al, 2009;Klobucka et al, 2010;Rodby-Bousquet & Hägglund, 2010;Elliott et al, 2011;Shih et al, 2011;Urdialesa et al, 2011;Galante & Menezes, 2012;Guness et al, 2012;Lin et al, 2012;Rahman et al, 2012;Daly et al, 2013;Gimeno et al, 2013;Huang et al, 2013;Ryan et al, 2013;Shan et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2013). Sendo assim, há mais aceitação e participação de recursos assistivos na vida dessas crianças.…”
