THE ROLE OF ROBOTIC REHABILITATION IN CHILDREN WITH NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS
Enrico Castelli
Abstract
In the last years, traditional treatments have been combined with innovative therapies, such as robot-assisted training, an
interesting new rehabilitation tool for children with neurologic impairment. The robots deliver a high dose of training and int ensity,
critical factors for the activation of neuronal plasticity. Despite their increasing use, the effectiveness of robotic devices in the
rehabilitation process lacks of an overall and shared framework of reference. The analysis of the literature reveals some posit ive
aspects of the use of robotics in pediatric rehabilitation and others that are critical.
