Abstract:
We focus on the difficulty in CP to perform motor skills in a coordinated and purposeful way and designed a robotic training support system for children with CP, which enhance their motivation to do the training. The first target is to regenerate a balance between right and left motions in a rhythmic task. This is the first step to develop a rehabilitation method through the enhancement of an internal rhythm that individual subjects have.
