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 children with neurological disorders. However, Agilik is relatively new, and its efficacy in children with CP is unknown. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of Agilik as an assistive device for children with CP and crouch gait. In this pilot study, ten children with CP, GMFCS level II, and crouch gait will walk with Agilik under the supervision of a physical therapist. Assessments of walking with AFO and Agilik will evaluate the efficacy of the device. The pilot study will assess if Agilik decreases crouch and improves gait characteristics in children with CP.
