Children with cerebral palsy will be able to walk upright and on their own thanks to a new robotic suit, a new study suggests.
American researchers have created a robotic exoskeleton that attaches to children’s legs and have improved posture and mobility in an equal or better way than invasive orthopedic surgery would.
Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder causing limb weakness, limited mobility, and lack of coordination and is the leading childhood disability.
The researchers suggests that prolonged at-home use can eventually lead to children with cerebral palsy walking free of any assistance.
