Keywords:
non-robotic therapy, upper limb, cerebral palsy, hemiparesisAbstract
Use of the equipment (non-robotic rehabilitation therapy) in adolescent patient with cerebral palsy. Impact of therapy for re-education movements of the paretic upper limb. Brief description of the equipment Armeo® re-education, efficiency and utilization. A case report of a patient with cerebral palsy – hemiparesis consisted a method of a prospective survey. The analysis of results have shown that after treatment the patient has improved the range of motion in hemiparetic upper limb and improvement in functional test of working skills and also improvement in grip ability of paretic hand. Improvement has been not only on physical, but also on mental level and we would like to emphasize the success rate of motivation of the patient in his adolescent age.
