In the researchers' words
Aims: To investigate the effects of upper extremity robotic rehabilitation on upper extremity skills and functional independence level in patients with hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy (hCP). Methods: 34 hCP patients attended the study. 17 children in the training group recived conventional physiotherapy and Robotic Rehabilitation. 17 children in the control group recived only conventional physiotherapy. Convantional physiotherapy program lasted 45 minutes, Robotic Rehabilitation program lasted 30 minutes. All participants were enrolled in sessions 3 times a week for 5 weeks. Measurements were made before and after the therapy. Outcome measures were Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for muscle tone, Abilhand-Kids Test for manual skills, The Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) for upper extremity motor function and The WeeFIM for functional independence level.
