Supplementary file 2_A scoping review of the application scope of digital technologies in

85 studies published between 2008 and 2024 were systematically reviewed to assess the application scope of digital technologies in lower limb rehabilitation and balance training for children with cerebral palsy. The review, authored by Yang Wang and published on figshare, categorizes technologies into robotics, virtual reality, sensors, internet-based platforms, and game-based interventions. It identifies intervention effects and barriers to implementation.

Use Cases

• Identify effective digital intervention categories for pediatric lower limb rehabilitation based on the review's five technology classifications.
• Inform clinical practice guidelines for home-based rehabilitation based on the analysis of internet-based telerehabilitation platforms.
• Guide future research priorities by analyzing reported barriers like high costs and technical complexity.
• Compare the reported effects of robotics/exoskeletons versus virtual reality on gait and balance outcomes.

Strengths

• Systematic review of 85 studies provides a broad evidence base.
• Covers a 16-year publication timeframe from 2008 to 2024.
• Study quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
• Clear categorization of five major digital technology types.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 13.8 KB document, indicating a limited scope of raw data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The data is a review summary, not primary clinical or sensor data.
