Background: Pilot study tested re-education movements of upper extremity in children with hemiparesis syndrome and this study determined the effect of therapy on Armeo® equipment on movement and the ability to grip of upper extremity. Methods: This Investigation consisted of twenty-three children with impaired upper extremity. They had twenty therapies in Armeo® equipment. Results: After rehabilitation by equipment Armeo® the children achieved greater range of motions in the upper extremity which resulted in a higher average output score than the input score. Significant better results demonstrate the improvement in hand grip which resulted in higher average output score compared with the input score. Conclusion: By the therapy in Armeo® equipment were achieved statistically significant results in improving manual activities of upper extremity, improvement the range of motions and also improvement of grip of paretic hand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
