The field of pediatric neurorehabilitation has rapidly evolved with the introduction of technological advancements over recent years. Rehabilitation robotics and computer-assisted systems can complement conventional physiotherapeutics or occupational therapies. These systems appear promising, especially in children, where exciting and challenging virtual reality scenarios could increase motivation to train intensely in a playful therapeutic environment. Despite promising experience and a large acceptance by the patients and parents, so far, only a few therapy systems have been evaluated in children, and well-designed randomized controlled studies in this field are still lacking. This narrative review aims to provide an overview about the to-date robot-assisted and computer-based therapies and the current level of evidence and to share the authors experience about the clinical implication of these new technologies available for children with cerebral palsy.
近年来，随着技术的进步，儿科神经康复领域迅速发展。康复机器人和计算机辅助系统可以补充传统的物理疗法或职业疗法。这些系统似乎很有前景，尤其是在儿童中，令人兴奋和具有挑战性的虚拟现实场景可以增加在有趣的治疗环境中进行高强度训练的动力。尽管有令人鼓舞的经验和患者及家长的广泛接受，但迄今为止，只有少数治疗系统在儿童中进行了评估，而且该领域缺乏精心设计的随机对照研究。本叙述性综述旨在概述迄今为止的机器人辅助和基于计算机的治疗方法以及当前的证据水平，并分享作者关于这些新技术在脑瘫儿童中的临床应用的经验。
