Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) improves the gait ability of children with cerebral palsy, and can provide treatment plans and guidelines through changed records of various gait variables. There is a lack of concrete explanations or arguments for gait speed, weight support ratio, support force, joint angle, etc. that can be set in the RAGT system, and intervention intensity for an appropriate intervention program has not been presented. Therefore, in this study, we would like to suggest clinically effective interventions for children with cerebral palsy in the second stage of the gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) by identifying gait variables according to differences in gait speed during RAGT.

RECRUITINGGait ability
Gait ability is evaluated using the Zebris FDM-Treadmill. When the participants walks on the treadmill, the foot pressure is recorded at a rate of 120 Hz. The input pressure signal is displayed as a 2D/3D graph including the center of pressure while standing or walking, and the spatiotemporal measurements are displayed.
Time frame: Change from baseline gait ability at 6 weeks
