Current approaches to the use of robotic devices in rehabilitation complex of children with cerebral palsy

Abstract

Cerebral palsy is a neurological disease that is associated with multiple motor impairments and dysfunctions in children. The effective recovery of motor activity in both the upper and lower limbs is an important condition for the patient's social independence throughout his life. Robotic systems are new devices which are becoming increasingly popular as a part of the treatment of cerebral palsy. They have become a good addition to comprehensive rehabilitation therapy, including conducted at the sanatorium-resort stage. Further research is needed to clarify and prove the extent to which these devices help in treatment of children with cerebral palsy.
