For some children with cerebral palsy, walking may be delayed for years or may never happen without proper therapeutic and orthotic intervention. These children usually present with a diagnosis of spastic quadriplegia, athetosis, or they may have more involved forms of triplegia and diplegia. They are often tried in conventional hand-held walkers and AFOs, but this may not be safe or functional due to spastic upper-extremity involvement, low-tone trunk, poor balance, weak upper extremities, or lack of lower-limbcontrol.
