Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In children with cerebral palsy, the quality of walking decreases due to a decrease in the ability to control limbs, including walking, and coordination among various activities of daily living due to a decrease in functional independence and quality of life. Gait disorder is one of the important therapeutic goals of children with cerebral palsy, and recently robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) induces changes in brain plasticity, so it will help improve gross motor control and coordination control.
