What this Trial Is About
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a comprehensive rehabilitation program using robotic walking and functional electrical stimulation technologies on balance and gait in children with cerebral palsy. This study was planned as a prospective observational study. A total of 30 patients in two groups were planned to be included in the study. Patients in both groups were planned to receive a 6-week conventional rehabilitation program that was prepared to meet the requirements of their clinical conditions, including neurophysiological exercises, balance-coordination and posture exercises. The case group was planned to consist of patients who received a comprehensive rehabilitation program using high-tech devices including functional electrical stimulation (FES) and robotic rehabilitation applications in addition to the conventional rehabilitation program.
