INTRODUCTION: We investigated the feasibility of using computer-assisted arm rehabilitation (CAAR) computer games in schools. Outcomes were children's preference for single player or dual player mode, and changes in arm activity and kinematics.
BACKGROUND: Adolescents with hemiplegic cerebral palsy undergo conventional physical therapy (CPT) to improve static and dynamic balance, activities of daily living and cardiopulmonary function. To overcome this problem, we developed an innovative de...

BACKGROUND: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have disorders of posture and movement and which can limit physical activities such as walkingOBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) combined with robot-assist...
This study investigated changes of gait pattern induced by a 4-week robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in twelve ambulatory spastic diparesis children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 10.4+/-3.2 years old by using computerized gait analysis (CGA). Pre-...
