Abstract

Neurorehabilitation is at the forefront of robotically assisted walking therapy, which, according to previous research, facilitates the walking practice of motorized patients. The aim of this paper is to present the first research results on the case study on the role of robotically assisted walking therapy in children with cerebral palsy (DMO) and how neurobiomechanical aspects of therapy can be assessed.

The results of the case study coincide with the findings of previous scientific papers showing positive effects of robotic assisted therapy in children with DMO in gross motor, increase of joint ranges and decrease of spasticity. Although there are not enough randomized clinical trials with a representative number of probands, this therapy is an appropriate complement to modern pediatric neurorehabilitation.
