Abstract:
Cerebral palsy,a group of motor disorders,does serious harm to children's physical and mental health,and the majority of patients need rehabilitation through life-time.However,the traditional methods of rehabilitation medicine are mainly dependent on the rehabilitation manipulation,which brings heavy and long term burden to family and society.With the rapid development of biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering technology,a new type of the rehabilitation robot,through the integration of rehabilitation medicine,biomechanics,mechanics,electronics,computer science and robotics,and many other disciplines,combines the active and passive exercise and fits the normal movement patterns to achieve the purpose of rehabilitation.The paper,by focusing on taking the rehabilitation robot as an example,summarizes the progresses of the application of rehabilitation robot in children with cerebral palsy,to provide new ideas for the development of children's rehabilitation technology.
