Exploration to optimize mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology using multiple outcome measures in a randomized, cross-over trial structure comparing the effect of robotic gait training (RGT) group, and functional clinical therapy (FCT) using each subject as their own control.~The primary objective is to assess feasibility of the study design and device tolerability. Specifically:~Recruitment success (number screened, number eligible, number enrolled) where 80% of the recruitment target is reached.~Attrition rates of less than 10% (i.e. ≥90% of participant's successfully complete assessments).~Adherence for each participant: 80% of participants who complete assessments achieve the minimum target dose (i.e. approx. ≥30 hours of therapy in both study groups).~Qualitative feedback from clinicians and patients/caregivers on device tolerability and study participation.~Secondary objectives will evaluate the distance a child can walk in two minutes using the Two Minute Walk Test (2MWT, 18) and will examine a more global impact of the use of this technology. Data collected will include quality of gait, child or proxy chosen individualized goals, hypertonicity, contractures, and bone health.
