Abstract
Erb-Duchenne palsy (EDP), happens during a difficult birth due to
the lesion in the upper brachial plexus (involving 5thand 6th, and rarely
7th cervical nerve roots), is characterized by muscle weakness and loss
of motor functions in the affected upper extremity. While some injuries
are temporary with full recovery, some may be lifelong resulting in
significant functional limitations in daily life [1]. Various conservative
rehabilitation approaches including muscle strength and range of motion training in upper extremity have been widely used in rehabilitation
clinics [2]. Robot-assisted therapy (RAT) as an intervention for upper
extremity rehabilitation is an encouraging approach in order to improve
upper limb function in patients with neurological impairments [3]. RAT
would offer motivational and intensive rehabilitation for a pediatric
patient with EDP to interact and train with task-related games in the
robotic devices.
