LONDONO, Jairo Andrés Acevedo; BRAVO, Eduardo Caicedo e GARCIA, Javier Ferney Castillo. Application of robotics rehabilitation technologies in children with upper limb disabilities. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2017, vol.49, n.1, pp.103-114. ISSN 0121-0807. https://doi.org/10.18273/revsal.v49n1-2017010.
Upper limb injuries cause a profound impact on patient’s quality of life. It is well known that for the recovery of the patient, should be allowed to play an active role in their rehabilitation process. For this reason, new technologies such as robotics, are being implemented to address this problem; as presented by the multiple investigations reported in the literature. In this article, the review of devices and robotic systems for rehabilitation of the upper limb in children was documented, including some that are still under development, in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the designs and solutions to facilitate the development of new devices. For convenience of the reader, this document was distributed into theoretical framework, methodology, results and discussion, projections rehabilitation engineering and conclusions.
