Home- and Lab-Based Passive and Active Movement Rehabilitation of Ankle Impairments in Children With Cerebral Palsy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating IntelliStretch for Spastic Cerebral Palsy. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to examine the outcomes of home-based robot-guided therapy and compare it to laboratory-based robot-guided therapy for impaired ankles in cerebral palsy. Children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) are randomly placed into two groups, participating in robot-guided stretching and active movement training either in a research lab setting (Lab group) or in a home setting (Home group).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The impaired ankle of the participants are trained 3 times a week for 6 weeks in the lab or at home. The participants use the portable robotic device to stretch the ankle and increase range of motion (ROM). Then subjects use their gained ROM immediately in the active movement training to play video games and improve motor control.
