Objective: To compare the efficacy of a gait training program using robotic assistance combined with virtual reality versus robotic assistance alone on energy expenditure in children with cerebral palsy.
Participants: Children with cerebral palsy levels II, III, IV, and V according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), from different paediatric physiotherapy centres and schools in Valencia, Spain.
Intervention: Gait training using an inexpensive robotic gait training system (CL1Walker) and participation in a virtual reality game, Treasure Hunt (abbreviated here as ACT, from the Spanish A la Caza del Tesoro) in the experimental group (GTVR) and gait training using the same robotic gait training system without using virtual reality in the control group (GT).
Measurements: Assessment using the Physiological Cost Index (PCI) one week prior to and after the intervention. The intraclass correlation (ICC) replicability and the minimum detectable change (MDC) of the PCI.

Current Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
Change from baseline Physiological cost index at 6 months [ Time Frame: The test will be performed 6 month interval ] Index of gait efficiency trough Physiological Cost Index. It's a valuable indicator of gait efficiency in children with different Cerebral Palsy-related disability levels and it can predict their future level of societal activity and participation. To establish normal gait efficiency parameters, the Physiological Cost Index in children without disabilities is 0.4 with shoes and 0.38 barefoot .
