BRK1: FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE EFFECTIVENESS OF ROBOTIC-ASSISTED THERAPIES IN CHILDREN WITH CP

Learning Objectives:
1) To become familiar with the impact of patient specific factors (e.g. diagnosis, gender, age, GMFCS level, etc.) on effectiveness of robotic assisted therapy.
2) To become familiar with the impact of treatment specific factors (e.g. the combination with botulinum toxin injections, treatment intensity) on the effectiveness of therapy.
3) To gain experience with the potential effect size of presented outcome measures on different ICF domains (e.g. using GMFM 66, COPM) in correlation to the influencing factors.
4) To help to estimate the right expectations about the individual’s outcome for communication with the patients and parents.
