Researchers are now looking into robotics as a way to improve muscle movement and coordination in children with cerebral palsy. This area of research is relatively new, but already great strides have been made.
In fact, research in this area has been so promising that Riley Hospital in Indianapolis will soon be home to the Robotics Clinical Center for Children with Cerebral Palsy. The center will be publicly funded and if you’re in the Indianapolis area, you can help support it by attending a fundraising event being held on May 5th.
