Free play is of great benefit for children’s physical and cognitive development, especially for younger ages. However, children with motor restrictions cannot engage in free play like their peers because they face strong challenges to manipulate and interact with their environment. This lack of play opportunities may hinder proper cognitive development, along with several other problems such as decreased social skills or low self-esteem. In recent years several studies have discussed the use of robots to provide children with motor disabilities more opportunities for free play. This paper gives an overview of recent studies regarding the use of robots for play by children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). We also propose a work framework composed by a bi-manual articulated robot to further expand those children’s play opportunities.

The purpose of this study was to obtain preliminary data concerning the effectiveness of two treatment procedures—weight bearing on extended arms and passive trunk rotation—on the development of prehension skills. A multiple baseline across subjects, with reversal phases, research design was used. Measurement procedures were designed to be sensitive to small behavioral changes in the prehension skills of three children with spastic cerebral palsy. Eight movement components of reach, grasp, and release were measured. Prehension skills of all three subjects showed improvement as a result of weight bearing on extended arms. No measurable changes were observed as a result of passive trunk rotation. Results indicate that this type of measurement procedure is sensitive to the small behavioral changes seen frequently in the treatment of cerebral palsy.

In the article, the authors present results of their own clinical study, on the basis of which the need to involve doctors of various specialties to accompany children with cerebral palsy is scientifically justified.
