Hi-
I did not see the show you are talking about but I do know what you are
talking about. It is called the Adeli suit. It is used for children with
morderate to severe spastic cerebral palsy. This treatment is only available
in poland at the moment. Here are some links to information about this
treatment method.

For basic information you can check out the information on CPIC <A

<< Did anyone watch the TV show last week about the special suit that they
make
in Poland or know anything about what TV show it was on or where to get info
on it?
It is like a band suit or something, my friend could not remember the TV show
name or what the suit was called.
