Interventions

Medical Device : A treadmill cage device is applied to patients with cerebral palsy who show abnormal gait posture, and a constant tensional force is applied to the patient&#39

s knees to check if abnormal walking posture can be corrected and the quality of gait exercise can be improved. The experiment is conducted twice a week for three months and an hour per session, and

s self-determined walking speed, and the lateral tensional force applied to the patient&#39

s knee is determined by the magnitude of the patient&#39

s pelvic adduction angle of zero while stationary.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Patients diagnosed with pediatric cerebral palsy who have not developed enough gait ability. - Patients between GMFCS level 1 and 3 - Patients whose passive articulation range (ROM) is within the reference range: Knee flexion: 0-120°, hip flexion: 0-90°, hip extension: 0-10° - Patients who have no history of assistive and neurosurgery in the last six months. - Patients who wear harnesses to prevent falls and is able to walk as usual without discomfort. - Patients who can determine for themselves the presence of pain in the wearing part of the lower extremity device during gait. - Patients who themselves and their carers can judge and agree to participate in this study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - The research director's guidance students and their researchers - Patients who showed abnormal gait posture for reasons other than developmental disability caused by cerebral palsy - Patients who suffer extreme pain in the lower extremities, suffers from fractures and osteoporosis, shows extreme asymmetry in bone growth in the lower extremities, or are unable to proceed with training due to cardiovascular symptoms. - Patients who show self-inflicted symptoms due to stress and other factors - Patients who cannot communicate simply for experimentation
