Assistive Robots for Physical and Cognitive Rehabilitation in Cerebral Palsy

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics ((STAR,volume 106))

Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most severe disabilities in childhood and makes heavy demands on health, educational, and social services as well as on families and children themselves. The most frequently cited definition of CP is a disorder of posture and movement due to a defect or lesion in the immature brain, [1].
