Effectiveness of Armeo Spring Robotic Therapy in the Function of the Upper Limb of Children With Unilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy Infiltrated With Botulinum Toxin

Armeo spring is an exoskeleton that allows intensive therapy aimed at upper extremity tasks, which can be regulated according to the anthropometric measurements of the child and the objective of the session. The software contains an extensive library of game-like exercises that are run in a motivating and informative virtual reality training environment, clearly showing the functional task to be performed through immediate feedback in a 3D work space.

This treatment includes passive stretching exercises, weight bearing, stimulation of protective reactions, muscle strengthening exercises and different types of motivating bimanual games, favoring reaching, grasping, exploration and manipulation.
