Hey there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to look it over. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Wonderful blog and brilliant design.

Dear Cynthia,

I would recommend you to check Rancho Los Amigos. They are initiating a program on robotic therapy.

In addition to Rancho Los Amigos, we are collaborating with Riley Childrens Hospital (Indianapolis, IN) and Blythedale Childrens Hospital (Valhalla, NY).

Dear Cosetta,
Thanks to CPIRF and the Niarchos Foundation, I will be able soon to answer “done.” We should start testing sometime this year a pediatric version of our adult anklebot at Blythedale Childrens’ Hospital. The first design aims at the 5 to 8 year old group and hopefully we will see the kind of success story that we are seeing in adults with stroke.

I have a 4 year old daughter with spastic diplegia and live in Memphis TN. Only her right leg is seriously affected and needs a lower brace and botox injections. Recently we have used a brace that compells the tip of her foot to raise when she lifts her leg from the ground (it has a spring). This brace has been quite beneficial to her and I was wondering if it is possible to build braces with a robot that even further refines the movement of the leg, of the foot and its dorsiflection.

Thank you for your time.

I’m a 28 yr old with spastic diplegia. I live in Brooklyn NY. I have been having trouble finding a physician who specializes in treating adults with cerebral palsy as I have aged out of pediatrics. I would preferably be interested in a multidisciplinary approach to care. iS THERE A FACILITY AND /OR PHYSICIAN THAT SPECILIZES IN TREATING ADULTS WITH CP WITH THE 5 BOROUGHS OF NYC?

Hi There,

We are presently working with two hospitals in the US: Blythedale and Riley Childrens Hospitals (Valhalla, NY and Indianapolis, IN). In addition, Rancho Los Amigos will start to collaborate with us in similar program sometime in the spring 2010. The work on these facilities focus on the upper extremity. We should also start a lower extremity program at Blythedale Childrens Hospital but that only in 2011.

For the lower extremity there are other alternatives, I know of three hospitals but there might be others (Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Boston; Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago; and UCLA).

Hope this was helpful.

My daughter, Amelia who is 6, has cerebral palsy. I’m not sure what type. I have been doing research on robotick therapy and think it will benifit her. I was wondering how I would find where she could receive the therapy. She can walk with a walker and is starting to use canes. I am willing to go anywhere to get her treatment if it will help her.

Thank you,

Hi:

Can you tell me if the robotics are actually being sold or are they still in the research stage?
