Five children with Childhood Dyskinesia affecting the upper-limb were enrolled, as well as six healthy children. Fully-customised devices with viscoelastic properties were made for the patients. They used the orthoses for 1 month. The assessment was done with clinical scales and optoelectronic kinematic analysis. Results showed changes in motor patterns with increases in the ranges of motion of initially stiff segments, improvements in posture, changes towards multi-joint control strategies.

Abstract
Five children with Childhood Dyskinesia affecting the upper-limb were enrolled, as well as six healthy children. Fully-customised devices with viscoelastic properties were made for the patients. They used the orthoses for 1 month. The assessment was done with clinical scales and optoelectronic kinematic analysis. Results showed changes in motor patterns with increases in the ranges of motion of initially stiff segments, improvements in posture, changes towards multi-joint control strategies.File in questo prodotto:
