A New Quantitative Performance Parameter for Monitoring Robotics Rehabilitation Treatment: Technical Guidelines
نویسندگان
چکیده
In clinical practice, the great potential possessed by robots in extracting quantitative and meaningful data, is not always exploited. The aim of the present paper is to propose a simple parameter that allows to follow the performance of subjects during upper limb robotic training with no additional effort for patients or clinicians. ArmeoSpring have been used to perform a training on 14 children affected by cerebral palsy (CP). Each session was evaluated with the new parameter allowing us to observe variations in the subjects’ performance over time. A preliminary validation of the parameter was performed by the mean of Melbourne clinical scale. Further studies are required to compare the results with kinematics data and other clinical scales.
