Abstract

BACKGROUND: Partial preservation of sensory and motor functions in the contralateral extremities after hemispherectomy is likely secondary to cortical reorganization of the remaining hemisphere and can be improved by rehabilitation. This study aims to investigate behavioral changes that may occur after a 2-week novel robotic rehabilitation program in 18 children with prior anatomic hemispherectomy. Other conventional rehabilitation methods were also reviewed and compared.
