Supplementary file 1_A scoping review of the application scope of digital technologies in

A scoping review of 85 studies published between 2008 and 2024, analyzing the application of digital technologies in lower limb and balance rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy. The review was conducted by Yang Wang and follows the Joanna Briggs Institute framework, with studies sourced from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. It categorizes technologies into robotics/exoskeletons, virtual reality, sensors, internet-based telerehabilitation, and game-based interventions.

Use Cases

• Identify effective digital rehabilitation technologies based on the review of five major technology categories.
• Analyze barriers to implementation based on reported issues like high cost and technical complexity.
• Guide clinical practice and home-based rehabilitation strategies based on the synthesized intervention effects.
• Inform future research directions based on conclusions about methodological rigor and long-term follow-up.

Strengths

• Systematic review methodology following the Joanna Briggs Institute framework.
• Covers 85 studies published over a 16-year period (2008-2024).
• Quality of included studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 39.2 KB DOCX file, indicating a limited scope of raw data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect publication bias inherent to the selected academic databases.
