Effects of Hand Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremity on Balance and Coordination in Ataxic Cerebral Palsy
Ataxic cerebral palsy is an abnormal movement or posture pattern accompanied by a loss of coordinated muscle action, resulting in movements that lack proper force, rhythm, or accuracy. Ataxic CP is classified into cerebellar ataxia and ataxic diplegia. In Cerebellar Ataxia, the cerebellum is hypo-plastic or malformed which impairs the …
Evaluating Long-term Use of a Pediatric Robotic Exoskeleton (P.REX/Agilik) to Improve Gait in Children With Movement Disorders
Background People with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injury often have muscle weakness and problems controlling how their legs move. This can affect how they walk. The NIH has designed a robotic device (exoskeleton) that can be worn on the legs while walking. The wearable robot …
