Question

  1. What is the clinical effectiveness of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) versus no therapy for children with cerebral palsy?
  2. What is the clinical effectiveness of RAGT versus alternative therapies for children with cerebral palsy?
  3. What is the cost-effectiveness of RAGT versus no therapy for children with cerebral palsy?
  4. What is the cost-effectiveness of RAGT versus alternative therapies for children with cerebral palsy?

Key Message

  • No evidence was identified regarding the clinical effectiveness of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) versus no therapy for children with cerebral palsy.
  • Eight randomized controlled trials and 1 non-randomized study were identified regarding the clinical effectiveness of RAGT training versus alternative therapies for children with cerebral palsy.
  • No evidence was identified regarding the cost-effectiveness of RAGT versus no therapy for children with cerebral palsy.
  • No evidence was identified regarding the cost-effectiveness of RAGT versus alternative therapies for children with cerebral palsy.
