Resumen
Esta investigación se centra en comprobar si el uso de un sistema robótico ciberfísico (CPRS por sus siglas en inglés) para ayudar a los patólogos del habla y el lenguaje (SLP por sus siglas en inglés) resulta beneficioso en un servicio de educación especial. El método investigador se basa en un cuasiexperimento con un diseño 2k y un test ANOVA en dos direcciones, aplicado con estudiantes de instituto reales a lo largo de 10 semanas. Se descubrió que la utilización de este CPRS podía mejorar, de forma preliminar y como hallazgo exploratorio inicial, la eficacia terapéutica sobre el habla hasta 11,3 puntos porcentuales con una confianza estadística del 95% cuando los SLP trabajan con estudiantes que padecen un trastorno articulatorio leve y con un período de terapia restringido, pero especialmente cuando se emplea la tecnología sin limitaciones de tiempo. Se llega a la conclusión de que los CPRS de apoyo podrían constituir un factor causante de una mejora en tratamientos concretos llevados a cabo por los SLP, con unas evidencias estadísticas lo bastante significativas (95%) como para mantener el interés científico y educativo por esta línea de investigación en el futuro.
