Intensive Robotic Rehabilitation in Children With Hemiparesia Using GEOSYSTEM
Sponsor: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Summary
Cerebral palsy is the most frequent motor deficiency in children. Among other, it can leads to spastic diplegia or hemiplegia. Walking abilities is an important skill to the families' point of view in term of independence in curent life. Improving the walking parameters has been the main objective in several studies of rehabilitation. The G-EO system is a last generation robot assisting gait training that can adjust cadence, walk lengh, ankle and hip angles and other walking parameters to movement captation. Its superiority in terms of walking abilities has been demonstrated in adults with stroke sequelae. Only one study was realized in pediatric patients with spastic diplegia with promising results. The investigators hypothesize that intensive robot-assited gait training using the G-EO system in hemiplegic children can improve their walking abilities.
