Abstract

A new biofeedback computer-aided biofeedback training system for cognitive rehabilitation in cerebral palsy was developed. It was very difficult for cerebral palsied children to handle entirely in the cognitive rehabilitation protocol. So, in this study, biofeedback training including light, sound, color images and other special functions can induce cerebral palsied children interested in the rehabilitation protocol. Specially, cognitive training is very much important to cerebral palsy which may make the decision of their futures. The purposes of this study are: (1) to develop a computer-based and low cost biofeedback (visual, audio) training system for cognitive rehabilitation. (2) to improve the reaction time and cognitive abilities of cerebral palsied children. At first, the system was tested by twenty normal children to make sure the system basic functions and could work normally. Then, it will apply to cerebral palsied children for future clinical investigation.
