Use of the LOK® Robotic Gait Trainer in the Early Rehabilitation of Children After an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

Summary

After an acquired brain injury (ABI), children often require extensive physiotherapy (PT) to help them relearn to walk. There is promising evidence in pediatric neuro-motor conditions of the possibility for brain activation pattern changes in response to repetitive, task-oriented functional gait training. Robotic-assisted gait training devices such as the Lokomat (LOK) allow this type of intensive walking retraining. The aim of this study is to assess the safety, feasibility and outcome possibilities linked to a LOK intervention given as 2 of the child's 4 PT weekly sessions over 8-weeks in the early stages of rehabilitation after an ABI.
