Brief Summary

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

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the first cause of motor disability in children worldwide. ATLAS 2030 is a robotic gait exoskeleton designed to rehabilitate children with motor disability. The objective of this study is to analyse the efficacy of a training program with ATLAS 2023 in chilren with CP.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A sample of children with CP will be divided into 2 groups, the experimental group will receive 32 sesions withe the ATLAS 2030 exoskeleton, whereas the control group will continue to receive their regular conventional therapy. Assessments will be performed at the beginning and the end of the intervention, as well as after 6, 9 and 12 months of the end of the intervention for follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria

* More than 8 sessions of robotic therapy during a month in the previous year to the beginning of the study.
* Intensive rehabilitation during the study.
* Imposibility of the family to fulfill treatment calendar.
* Spasticity equal to 4 on the Modified Ashworth Scale at the time of use of the device.
* More than 20º of hip and/or knee flessum at the time of using the exoskeleton.

* Severe skin lesion on parts of the lower extremities that are in contact with the device.
* Scheduled surgery (rachis, limbs) for the duration of the study or surgery performed (rachis, extremities) in the last 6 months.
* History of fracture without trauma. History of bone fracture traumatic in lower extremities or pelvic girdle in the last 3 months.
* Severe rigid orthopedic deformities of the spine and/or lower limbs.
* Cognitive or conductual disorders that may lead to a lack of adherence to the attachment to the device.
