Area of Science:

  • Pediatric rehabilitation robotics
  • Neurorehabilitation engineering
  • Child motor development assessment

Background:

  • Robotic devices are established for adult motor function quantification and rehabilitation.
  • Limited research exists on robotic applications for motor function in pediatric populations.
  • Understanding neurotypical motor development is essential before identifying pediatric motor impairments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review robotic tools and techniques for quantifying upper-limb motor function in typically developing children.
  • To correlate clinical outcome measures with robotic assessments by analyzing studies comparing neurotypical and pathological pediatric populations.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted across five databases from February 2019 to August 2020.
  • 226 articles were initially identified, with 19 ultimately included in the review.
  • Included studies focused on robotic assessment of upper-limb motor function in children.

Main Results:

  • Significant heterogeneity was observed in robotic devices, tasks, and outcome measures across different study settings.
  • Consistency in robotic assessment methods was noted within specific laboratory groups.
  • The majority of reviewed studies (15 out of 19) included both typically developing and pediatric pathological populations.

Conclusions:

  • A standardized set of tasks and outcome measures for robotic upper-limb motor function assessment is recommended for future research.
  • Standardization will enable universally comparable outcomes and facilitate more effective pediatric rehabilitation.
  • Consistent methodologies are key to advancing the field of pediatric neurorehabilitation using robotics.
