Efficacia della riabilitazione dell'arto superiore assistita da robot nei bambini con paralisi cerebrale
The use of robotic rehabilitation, a treatment method for improving the motor functions of the upper extremities, is gradually increasing in children with cerebral palsy.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of robot-assisted rehabilitation for the upper extremity on upper extremity functions, manual skills and quality of life in patients with unilateral or bilateral/triplegic spastic cerebral palsy and also to compare the effect of robot-assisted upper extremity rehabilitation compared to traditional rehabilitation methods.

Descrizione dettagliata
In this study, it was planned to include 36 patients diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral/triplegic spastic cerebral palsy, aged 5-15 years, who were treated in the Pediatric Rehabilitation Service of Ankara City Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital, and met the inclusion criteria.
Participants will be divided into two groups as study and control groups. In addition to the conventional rehabilitation program, the study group will be included in the robot-assisted upper extremity rehabilitation program, while the control group will be included in the conventional rehabilitation program only.
Conventional rehabilitation program will be applied 5 days a week, lasting 60 minutes. The robotic rehabilitation program (with the Armeo Spring Pediatric Robotic Rehabilitation system) will be implemented 3 days a week for 30 minutes in addition to the conventional rehabilitation program. Participants will receive a total of 4 weeks of treatment. Assessments will be made before initiating treatment, at the end of treatment, and 3 months after initiation of treatment.

QUEST (Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test)
Lasso di tempo: Change from baseline Quality of upper extremity skills test at 4 weeks and 3 months
|
It is a test developed to measure upper extremity functions. It consists of 7 sub-headings including dissociated movements, grasping, weight bearing, protective extension, hand function rating, spasticity rating and cooperativeness rating. |

ABILHAND-Kids
Lasso di tempo: Change from baseline ABILHAND-Kids at 4 weeks and 3 months
|
It is a functional scale developed to measure manual abilities. It measures the child's manual ability during daily activities and parents are asked to evaluate during these activities. The test consists of 21 questions and parents answer the questions in the test as impossible, difficult or easy. It is scored as impossible: 0, difficult: 1, easy: 2. The maximum score in the test is 42 and the minimum score is 0. Higher scores indicate better manual ability. |

Box and Block Test
Lasso di tempo: Change from baseline Box and Block Test at 4 weeks and 3 months
|
It is a time-based test that evaluates rough manual dexterity. The participant is asked to throw the cubes on one side of a wooden box divided into two into the other compartment, and the result is obtained by counting how many cubes he has thrown in 60 seconds. |

KINDL (Questionnaire to assess Health-Related Quality of Life in children and adolescents)
Lasso di tempo: Change from baseline KINDL at 4 weeks and 3 months
|
It is a questionnaire that measures the quality of life in children and adolescents, and there are child and family forms for different age groups. In this study, KINDL 3-6 age family form and 7-17 age family form will be used. KINDL 3-6 age family form is a questionnaire consisting of 52 questions in total about physical well-being, emotional well-being, self-esteem, family, social relations, kindergarten/nursery, other questions and illness. KINDL 7-17 age family form is a questionnaire consisting of 30 questions in total about physical well-being, emotional well-being, self-esteem, family, social relations, school, and illness. Parents answer questions as never, rarely, sometimes, often, or always. Questions are scored from 1 to 5. Negative questions are scored by reversing. Each section is scored between 0-100. A higher score indicates a higher quality of life. |

Modified Ashworth Scala (MAS)
Lasso di tempo: Change from baseline Modified Ashworth Scala at 4 weeks and 3 months
|
It is used to evaluate the severity of spasticity. The joint is moved passively throughout the range of motion and the felt resistance is evaluated. In this study, shoulder adductors, elbow flexors, wrist flexors, and finger flexors will be evaluated with MAS. Spasticity severity is evaluated in 4 degrees. (0: no increase in muscle tone, 4: affected parts are rigid in flexion and extension). Higher scores indicate greater spasticity severity. |
