title = "Rehabilitation with Humanoid Robots: A Feasibility Study of Rehabilitation of Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) Using a QTRobot",
abstract = "The use of humanoid robots, in the field of rehabilitation, has increased over the last years as the technology has become more sophisticated. The aim of this paper is to explore the possibility of using humanoid robots in rehabilitation for children and youth with cerebral palsy (CP). A total of 9 papers were found with inclusion criteria of children with CP, rehabilitation and humanoid robots. In these 9 papers there were 40 children with reported CP diagnosis, age range from 2.11 to 18 years. We found that humanoid robots tested in real rehabilitation scenarios were NAO, ZORA, MARKO and URSUS. These were mostly used in simple rehabilitation interventions as motivators in different exercises for joint mobility or therapeutic exercises in legs or arms. Our findings show that humanoid robots need to be toughly tested following a complete standard process for planning, experimenting and reporting before being used in rehabilitation. In addition, our analysis shows that QTrobot has a huge potential for the rehabilitation of CP children.",
