- Abstract
Aim: Robotic neurorehabilitation is considered emerging new technologies which provides high intensity and dosage training and is being used as a rehabilitation tool in patients with motor deficit as a consequence of any neurological disease. Considering its high price, it is important to know its efficiency and the most optimal way of usage. Methods: We searched databases with experimental studies in order to determine the amount and quality of evidence about robot- assisted neurorehabiltation in children. Literature search was done in accordance to PRISMA protocol. Results: Most of the studies included children with cerebral palsy, and showed positive effects of robotic neurorehabilitation on upper and lower limb functionality. Due to heterogeneity of therapeutic goals and methodology therapy protocols varied in duration and intensity, and adverse events were not reported or were minimal. Conclusion: In absence of larger number of high- quality randomized studies clinicians should use individual clinical assessment of therapeutical possibilities of robot- assisted training for every patient. Future studies should have higher quality design, larger sample sizes, standardized methods, outcome measures and test efficacy in different age groups, populations and etiologies.
