Summary

PlayGait is an investigational dynamic energy storage and return (ESR) lower-limb exoskeleton for young children with cerebral palsy (CP), that stores energy while the child is in the stance phase of walking and returns that energy in terminal stance and early swing phase of walking. PlayGait assists with the passive dynamics of walking through an exotendon (comprised of a spring in series with a cable). The overall objective of this investigational device is to promote correct walking patterns that encourage proper bone alignment, muscle recruitment, and strengthening during walking practice in young children with CP. The study will evaluate children with CP's activity levels in the community with and without PlayGait. The study will consist of three lab visits and two, 7-day periods at home.
