Robot Based Gait Training Therapy for Pediatric Population With Cerebral Palsy Using the CPWalker

The CPWalker rehabilitation platform is a robotic device composed by an exoskeleton linked to a walker that provides support and balance to a child during overground training. The device is able to implement user's partial body weight support (PBWS) and allows the adaptation of exercises to the patient's capabilities by means of individual controllers for each joint, which increases the modularity of the system. Each joint of the CPWalker can operate in a range of modes with varied levels of robotic assistance or resistance
