With few treatment options available for non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP), a robotic lower extremity gait trainer may provide non-invasive addition to conventional options. This case study investigates the usage and impact of use in participant CP over initial 3 months use.This prospective involves 7-year old female (GMFCS V) (registered clinical trial: NCT04251390). The used Trexo Home (Trexo) community assessments occurring home school. bowel movements (BMs) were tracked...
Robotic gait training has the potential to improve secondary health conditions for people with severe neurological impairment. The purpose of this study was describe who is using Trexo robotic trainer, how much achieved in home and community, what impacts are observed after initial month use. In prospective observational single-cohort study, parent-reported questionnaires were collected pre- post-training. Of 70 participants, median age 7 years (range 2 24), 83% had CP, 95% did not walk...
Abstract Background There is increasing evidence for early, active rehabilitation to enhance motor function following early brain injury. This clear interventions targeting the upper extremity, whereas passive treatment approaches lower extremity persist. The purpose of this trial evaluate effectiveness intensive and delivered in a parent-therapist partnership model children with perinatal stroke. Methods We describe protocol waitlist-control, single-blind, mixed methods randomized...
