Abstract Background Improving walking ability is a key objective in the treatment of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy, since it directly affects their activity and participation. In recent years, robotic technology has been implemented in gait treatment, which allows training of longer duration and repetition of the movement. To know the effectiveness of a treatment with the robotic-assisted gait trainer Walkbot combined with physiotherapy compared to the isolated physiotherapy treatment in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy, we carried out a clinical trial. Methods 23 participants, were divided into two groups: experimental and control. During 5 weeks, both groups received their physiotherapy sessions scheduled, in addition experimental group received 4 sessions per week of 40 min of robot. An evaluation of the participants was carried out before the intervention, at the end of the intervention, and at follow-up (two months after the end of the intervention). Gait was assessed with the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 dimensions D and E, strength was measured with a hydraulic dynamometer, and range of motion was assessed using the goniometer. A mixed ANOVA was performed when the assumptions of normality and homoscedasticity were met, and a robust mixed ANOVA was performed when these assumptions were not met. Statistical significance was stipulated at p |
