In the researchers' words
This is an intervention study including a baseline data collection, 6 weeks of robot-assisted training targeting hand dexterity, and a post-intervention data collection. The study will be conducted in the Motion Analysis Laboratory at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Boston, MA. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a robot-assisted training on hand dexterity and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy. Additionally, the investigators will study the relationship between muscle synergies and the outcomes of robot-assisted training.
