Use of robotics in spinal cord injury / Lori SLEDZIEWSKI in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 66/1 (janvier-février 2012)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 66/1 (janvier-février 2012) . - p. 51-58 Titre : Use of robotics in spinal cord injury : a case report Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lori SLEDZIEWSKI ; Julie MOUNT ; Roseann C. SCHAAF Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p. 51-58 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Robotique  Tétraplégie  Moelle épinière  Pathologie Résumé : OBJECTIVE. We examined the use of robotics to treat upper-extremity (UE) dysfunction in tetraplegic patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). METHOD. A 51-yr-old man with an incomplete SCI participated in an occupational therapy program that combined traditional occupational therapy with Reo Go®, a comprehensive therapy platform that includes a robotic guide featuring a telescopic arm to enable high repetitions of functionally relevant UE exercises. RESULTS. The participant demonstrated measurable improvements in active range of motion, muscle strength as measured through manual muscle testing, perceived right UE function, and self-care performance as measured by the FIM™. CONCLUSION. The findings from this case are promising and demonstrate the Reo Go’s utility in combination with traditional occupational therapy. However, more research and specific protocols that are easily reproducible with robots such as the Reo Go are needed to validate this evolving treatment area.
