The purpose of this study to determine the safety and benefit of the BiOMOTUM RAAD robotic exoskeleton device to provide resistance as a tool used in walking training intervention in the pediatric cerebral palsy population.

On Oct. 11, Richard Lieber, PhD, chief scientific officer and senior vice president, Research, will receive the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine's (AACPDM) Lifetime Achievement Award during the group's virtual annual meeting.

On March 27, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab’s chief scientific officer, Richard Lieber, PhD, was named the recipient of the 2023 Elsass Foundation Research Prize in recognition for being “one of the world's leading researchers in the field of cerebral palsy (CP).” He was nominated by his long-time collaborator Jan Fridén, MD, PhD, professor of hand surgery, Swiss Paraplegic Centre in Nottwil, Switzerland.

Born with CP, Michelle started receiving rehabilitation when she was only 6. Since then, she has made amazing changes and now leads a full, active teenage life.

A new study is first to provide direct evidence to indicate that improving weight shifting capacity of children with CP may improve overall walking function.

The goal of this project is to develop an automated, precise, quantitative biobehavioral assay for detecting infants at risk, and then rigorously test an early-life intervention to promote typical motor movement and sensory development in those infants in a manner designed for uptake and dissemination.
