Brief 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

Detailed Description:
Cerebral Palsy CP is a permanent but non-progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs in the immature brain and causes activity limitations in children Epilepsy cognitive disorders behavioral disorders visual-hearing losses and sensory disorders may be observed in children with CP along with motor damage Motor dysfunction disorders constitute one of the most basic problems in patients with CP Hand-arm coordination disorders grip disorders and sensory disorders in the upper extremities negatively affect the daily life activities and functional independence levels of patients It has been shown that neglect occurs with advancing age in cases with CP when upper limb treatment is delayed and compensation mechanisms develop involving the use of unaffected side upper limbs to ensure daily living activities Upper limb functional skills are very important to be able to perform daily life activities It is not possible to perform activities such as holding and releasing objects reaching for objects with non-functional upper limbs Abnormal posture and deformities caused by spasticity restrict the functions of the upper extremities make daily living activities difficult and increase the burden of people caring for the child With the technological developments in recent years virtual reality applications and robotic rehabilitation programs play an important role in CP rehabilitation Significant improvements have been shown especially in the development of walking balance and postural control Intensive practical frequent repetitive movements and functional activities can be provided simultaneously in the same session with robotic rehabilitation applications In the literature the effects of robotic rehabilitation applications have been investigated in adult neurological patients In pediatric patients studies generally focus on lower limb function and walking The number of studies examining the effect of robotic rehabilitation on upper limb functions in children with CP are limited Based on these deficiencies in the literature the purpose of the planned study was to examine the effect of upper limb robotic rehabilitation on upper limb functions and functional independence level in children diagnosed with spastic hemiparetic CP
