Design of a Pediatric Exoskeleton for the Rehabilitation of the Physical Disabilities Caused by Cerebral Palsy

Exoskeletons for lower limbs represent a tool to assist gait training on patients with impaired mobility resulting from spinal cord injury or cerebral palsy, among other pathologies. The exoskeleton designs proposed so far are generally oriented to adult patients. In this work, we propose a new exoskeleton specifically focused on children with cerebral palsy in the age range of 7 and 17. Its design and development process is here presented and future application proposed.
