Overground exoskeletons show mobility gains for cerebral palsy, but evidence remains incomplete
A systematic review of 21 studies (241 participants, average age 9) finds wearable overground exoskeletons can improve walking speed, endurance, balance and high‑level mobility in cerebral palsy compared with conventional therapy, though data gaps remain about durability after therapy ends, variability by CP type/age, and applicability to adults; costs and access vary, with some Australian NDIS funding for sessions but no funding yet for personal exoskeleton ownership. Clinicians should set clear goals and base recommendations on solid evidence.
