Supplementary file 3_A scoping review of the application scope of digital technologies in

A scoping review of 85 studies published between 2008 and 2024, systematically examining the application of digital technologies for lower limb rehabilitation and balance training in children with cerebral palsy. The review was authored by Yang Wang and published on figshare in 2026, following the Joanna Briggs Institute framework and a search of major biomedical databases. It categorizes technologies into five major types and discusses their effects and implementation barriers.

Use Cases

• Identify effective digital intervention categories for gait and balance improvement based on the review's synthesis of 85 studies.
• Inform clinical practice and home-based rehabilitation program design based on reported intervention effects and barriers.
• Guide future research priorities in methodological rigor and cost-effectiveness based on the review's conclusions.
• Compare the application scope and reported outcomes of five major technology categories: robotics/exoskeletons, virtual reality, sensors, telerehabilitation, and game-based tech.

Strengths

• Systematic methodology following the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review framework and a search of four major databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library).
• Includes 85 studies, providing a substantial evidence base for analysis.
• Study quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
• Clear temporal coverage of studies published between 2008 and 2024.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 76.8 KB DOCX file containing the review manuscript, not the underlying primary data from the 85 studies.
• Row count and column-level documentation for any extracted data are unknown.
• The description does not specify the geographic scope of the included studies, which may reflect inherent source bias.
