Describe the forces that drive technology Identify how technology improves quantification of impairment or body structure and function-use of ultrasoundRobotic gait technology-enhance for activities-lokomat-integrate low techTouch on a few substitution technologies-access to all-Go baby GoObjectives
Vision has always been to create opportunities through technologyTechnology Vision and Reality
4 Reasons Driving Technology-Roboticsmore accurately quantify impairments control content and dose of therapy and measure clinical outcomesIncrease practice-can deliver more therapy improves cost benefitNew innovative equipment and treatments-ENGAGE both child, parents and clinicians

Measuring muscle stiffness Why does it matter?
Want to both be able to quantify patient-specific changes in muscle activity both to inform fidelity of models, but also to improve treatment9

Passive stiffness Qualitative measures, estimates of joint stiffness, or groups of muscles (De Vlugt et al., 2010; Roy et al., 2011; Sinkjaer et al., 1994; Katz et al., 1989)Elastography (e.g.Debernard et al., 2011; Muthupillai et al., 1995)Shear wave elastography (e.g. Bercoff et al., 2004; Gennisson et al., 2005; Zhao et al. 2009)
Measuring muscle stiffness in vivo
Want to both be able to quantify patient-specific changes in muscle activity both to inform fidelity of models, but also to improve treatment14
Shear wave ultrasound elastographyCan measure stiffness of a materialMeasures shear wave velocityQuick, non-invasive
Shear wave velocity Stiffness
Goal - evaluate and compare muscle material properties of the more-affected and less-affected limbs of individuals with hemiplegic cerebral palsy-hemiplegic-age ave 9Influence of muscle and fascicle length impairment leveltorque
What are the errors if we use generic passive muscle properties?16

Medial gastrocnemius
Why is this important?Local measurement of material properties increased passive stiffness in more-affected muscle across ROM and fascicle strainPassive stiffness (collagen, titan, extracellular matrix)With different level of activation, can distinguish type altered stiffness Neurophysiological and muscular changes sequence of eventsEvaluate treatments e.g. bracing, boNT-A, lengthening surgeries

Execution of a task or action by an individualCP walking, feeding , transfers, dressing-school workActivities backdrop of development21
Technologies to address activitiesActivities Walkingtask-specific repetition, sensory feedback and feedback about performance are thought to enhance the effects of practice
Lange observed 31 physical and occupational therapy sessions at 7 different settingsAverage number of repetitions of task specific , functional movement was 32Animal studies use 600 repetitions per session to induce plasticity
Can you increase practice at home?Practice Intensity

RIC Clinical Experience
RIC Outcomes RevealBWSTT using Lokomat improved overall function, as measured by the 6 minute walk test and 10 meter walk testGMFM Domains (A/B/E) improved in GMFCS IVGMFM domains D/E approaching significanceEffects of TT better in higher level GMFCS patientsUNCLEAR on role !
Less effect based on limited degrees of freedom when stepping in sagittal plane, passive training system.
SO increased intensity in task specific activity such as repeated stepping in multiple planes of motion may translate when walking at home/school 28
Practical Recommendations for use of Lokomat29Aurich 2015 J of Neuropediatrics
Training schedules highly variable

No adverse effectsQuestions still remain-Can we work together and contribute to the combined data base?Literature to Support RAGT-5 studies31
Artic Mission-possible collaborationCollect data to develop guidelines as well as to answer scientific questions with regards to the use of robotic devices in rehabilitation to improve patient outcome

Simple looking for partners
Data Status7 centers are already contributing data1 center has recently received IRB/Ethical approval2 centers are awaiting IRB approval1 center contributes administratively
Numbers in arrows show improvement from March to May 2015
Transfer of skills from TT to OG is hardly definitiveBWS limits dynamic trunk control Restricted degrees of freedom Altered gait dynamics and passive training patterns limit skill acquisitionMinimal to modest functional outcomes in ambulation Stroke literature points to importance of daily # steps and speed of TT D.

Mind-controlled exoskeleton kicks off World Cup
The problemSelf-produced mobility plays a crucial role in a childs cognitive and psychosocial development (Piaget 1952, Erikson 1963, Paulsson and Christofferson 1984, Verburg et al. 1984, Butler 1986).linked to the development of spatial cognition, emotional skills, self-awareness. inability to move independently has a significant negative impact on cognitive, perceptual, and/or motor development (Zubek et al. 1963, Tatlow 1980, Brinker and Lewis 1982, Verburg 1987)
The problemMobility devices such as motorized wheelchairs require a certain level of cognitive ability and maturity to operateWhen do is the child ready for a wheelchair?Wheelchairs introduced at school ageProviding daily mobility between the ages of 1 and 5 is critical, given that significant learning, brain and behavioral development is dependent on mobility during this time.
Wheelchairs introduced at school age- some studies are trying to develop a objective measurement of readoness for wheelchair operation43
The problemHow much does a wheelchair cost? A LOTHow much do they weigh? A LOT issuesHow often do you replace?Battery malfunction?Insurance approval?Slow response?Social issues?

The solutionGoal to provide mobility to kids who have trouble moving on their own. Modifying off-the-shelf toy racecars to provide mobility to children with crawling and walking problems, empowering them to be part of the action at home, in the daycare center, and on the playground.

"Interacting with kids and adults out in the world and gaining a little independence are crucial to early development. The disability no longer causes them to miss out on playtime or making friendsnow they are able to participate. Other kids see the girl in the Barbie car and say, 'Wow, can I play with you?- Cole Galloway, PhD
