本研究介绍了一种用于治疗脑性瘫痪(CP)儿童踝关节损伤的新型康复机器人。治疗包括智能控制下的被动伸展和使用便携式机器人进行激励性游戏的主动运动训练。经过18次训练(每周3次，为期6周)，我们发现12名CP儿童在被动和主动活动范围、选择性运动控制和活动功能方面都有显著改善。这项研究的积极结果以及运动控制和功能活动的改善表明，机器人康复为更容易获得和更频繁的康复提供了一种在诊所或患者家中进行治疗的有用和方便的选择。
The current study introduces a novel rehabilitation robot for treatment of impaired ankle in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The treatment consisted of passive stretching under intelligent control and active movement training with motivating game-playing using the portable robot. After 18 sessions of training (3 sessions/week for 6 weeks), we found significant improvement in 12 children with CP in terms of improved passive and active ranges of motion, selective motor control and mobility functions. The positive outcomes of this study along with the improvements in motor control and functional activities suggest that robotic rehabilitation provides a useful and convenient option of treatment in clinic or patient home for more accessible and frequent rehabilitation.
