Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Spastic Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
  • Upper Extremity Paresis
  • Robotic Rehabilitation

Interventions

OTHER

Conventional physiotherapy

Strengthening and stretching exercises for lower and upper extremity muscles, hip and trunk stabilization training, balance training, gait training, upper extremity functional skills training, endurance training and coordination training were given. Exercises were planned according to the developmental stage. Sessions were applied 3 days a week and 45 minutes for 5 weeks, for a total of 15 sessions.

Exercises were planned according to the developmental stage. Sessions were applied 3 days a week and 45 minutes for 5 weeks, for a total of 15 sessions. An additional 30 minutes of robotic rehabilitation was applied to the conventional physiotherapy program. Robotic rehabilitation was applied after each session of conventional physiotherapy applications.
