Summary
The aim of study was to assess impact of RATT (robot-assisted treadmill training) on motor functions in outpatient and inpatient patients with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP) depending on the severity of motor impairment. 51 patients with bilateral spastic CP, aged 4-27 years underwent 20 sessions of RATT during 4-6 week period using Lokomat® therapy. Patients were divided into two groups according to severity of motor impairment determined by the Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (GMFCS).
After completing 20 sessions we recorded an objective improvement in functional gait parameters and motor functions in mildly, as well as severely affected patients with bilateral spastic CP. The severity of motor impairment affects the amount of the achieved improvement.
