Robot Enhanced Therapy for Impaired Upper Extremities Functions in Hemiplegic Children

چکیده
Hemiplegic cerebral palsied (CP) children account 30% of CP children1, characterized by affected arm and leg on one side of the body2. Hemiplegic children had difficulties in performing fine motor hand activities and had abnormal upper limb posturing during gait and in any activities required effort3. Combination of spasticity, weakness, and sensory and motor control deficits reduced functional abilities of the upper limb and resulting in children becoming one handed experts, the affected limb acting as a stabilizing or helper hand during everyday activities4.

متن کاملEarly Intervention to Improve Hand Function in Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy often have marked hand involvement with excessive thumb adduction and flexion and limited active wrist extension from infancy. Post-lesional aberrant plasticity can lead to progressive abnormalities of the developing motor system. Disturbances of somatosensory and visual function and developmental disregard contribute to difficulties with hand use. Progre...

Background: Constraint-Induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a promising treatment for improving upper limb function in adults after stroke and traumatic brain injury. It involves constraint of the less affected limb and intensive practice with the more affected limb. The purpose of this study on children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) was to evaluate the effects of CIMT on upper extremity an...
