Abstract
The robot assisted rehabilitation constitutes a recent therapeutic opportunity for the motor disorders in children with neurological disabilities. Robot-based devices are useful to promote improvements in sensorimotor and cognitive process. Robot-assisted rehabilitation is most frequently used in neurological disabilities of the upper limb and walking. They produce a controlled and repeatable therapy experience and allow quantitative evaluations of kinematics and kinetics to estimate the patient's progress. Results appear promising but there is a lack of a comprehensive and shared framework that takes into account the effectiveness of this rehabilitation approach.
