Effects of Robotic-Assisted Gait Training in Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy: A Network Meta-Analysis

Gait disturbances are common in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) is becoming increasingly widespread, and hence it is important to examine its effectiveness. A network meta-analysis (NMA) of clinical trials comparing treatments with RAGT vs. ot...
