Children with moderate to severe bilateral CP have poor upper extremity abilities and segmental trunk control deficits. Their independent functional sitting is impaired with decreased participation in leisure activities, education involvement. Therefore, promoting independent sitting and improving postural and upper extremity abilities are critical to the health and functional independence of children with moderate-to-severe bilateral CP (GMFCS III-IV). Despite significant strides in upper extremity treatments of children with milder (unilateral) CP, there is limited evidence supporting efficacy of treatments targeting seated postural control in bilateral CP. Recent robotic equipment allows…
