Robotic Knee Orthosis-assisted Walking in CP

Robotic exoskeletons are becoming increasingly accepted to provide upright mobility in individuals with neurological disorders. These devices can assist in overcoming gravitational forces and reduce energy consumption. Agilik is one such device intended for individuals with neurological disorders. However, Agilik is relatively new, and its efficacy in individuals with CP is unknown. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of Agilik as an assistive device for individuals with CP and crouch gait. In this pilot study, ten individuals with CP, GMFCS levels I and II, and crouch gait will walk with Agilik under the supervision of a physical therapist. Assessments of walking with shoes or AFO and Agilik will evaluate the efficacy of the device. The pilot study will assess if Agilik decreases crouch and improves gait characteristics in individuals with CP.
