Improvement in coordination and function

12 children ages 5-12 with cerebral palsy and upper limb hemiplegia received robotic therapy twice a week for 8 weeks. The children showed significant improvement in total Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (Quest) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scores.
A questionnaire administered to the children’s parents also showed significant improvement in “how much” and “how well” the children used the paretic arm during functional tasks at home
