Abstract

In clinical practice, the great potential of robots in extracting quantitative and meaningful data is not always exploited. The aim of the present paper is to propose a simple parameter that allows to follow the performance of subjects during upper limb robotic training with no additional effort for patients or clinicians. Armeo®Spring has been used to perform a training on 14 children affected by cerebral palsy (CP). Each session was evaluated with the new parameter allowing us to observe variations in subjects’ performance over time. A preliminary validation of the parameter was performed by means of Melbourne clinical scale. Further studies are required to compare the results with kinematics data and other clinical scales.
