092 REAplan

Optimizing the impact of REAplan on motor performance in children with musculoskeletal disorders: Pilot study

Intervention area

Mobility

Start date

January 1, 2018

End date

October 1, 2019

Robotic rehabilitation devices are now recognized for improving patients’ motor function, by increasing the duration of exercises, increasingly in the form of “serious games”, as well as their variety and adaptation to the patient. Particularly in the upper limb, the REAplan is the first rehabilitation robotic arm to have demonstrated improved motor function in the upper limbs of children with cerebral palsy. The aim of this mandate is to identify reproducible biomechanical indicators (deliverables of the mandate) to recommend levels of assistance with the REAplan.
