About the study
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability in early childhood causing serious motor and sensory impairments. Effective interventions for the recovery of motor functions are of profound significance to children with CP, their families, caregivers, and health professionals. Robot-assisted rehabilitation represents a frontier with potential to improve motor functions and induce brain reorganization in children with CP.
