Brief Summary
The overarching goal of this study is to improve mobility in individuals with movement disorders through advances in wearable assistance (i.e. powered orthoses).
Detailed Description
Individuals with cerebral palsy completed high frequency over-ground gait training (4x/week for 1 week) with ankle exoskeleton assistance, and then, after a 1 year washout period, the same participant...
