Robot-mediated pediatric neurorehabilitation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The huge complexity and variety of deficits in children, their continuous development, and co-operation simultaneously with children and their parents make clinical practice in pediatric neurorehabilitation particularly challenging. Thus scientists and clinicians still look for newer, more efficient diagnostic and therapeutic tools. One of them is robot-mediated pediatric neurorehabilitation. However, the amount of research in the area of robot-mediated pediatric neurorehabilitation is still limited, and its impact on clinical practice seems to be underscored. The aim of this study was threefold: to establish the current state of robotmediated pediatric neurorehabilitation, investigate the extent to which the available opportunities in robot-mediated pediatric neurorehabilitation are being exploited, and discuss clinical perspectives and directions for further research.
