Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Children from 6 to 19 years with hemiplegia. A single affection of the arm or an affection of both - arm and leg - could be included.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary endpoints are collected after the 12-week intervention or control phase and as a 6-month follow-up measurement as follows: - The hand-finger motor function is determined with the "Nine Hole Peg Test". The time in hundredths of a second is measured, which the study participant needs for the execution. - The function of the upper extremity is checked by means of the "Box and Block Test". The actions are measured within 60 seconds. - Bimanual coordination of the upper extremities is tested with the "Movement ABC-2" manual dexterity tests. Here the time until the task is completed is measured. - The balance and the risk of falling during an everyday movement task is measured with the "Timed-up & go test". The time used for the test is measured in seconds. - The walking speed over a short distance of 10 meters is checked with the "Ten Meters Walking Test". - The "Goal Attainment Scale" (GAS) provides a clear definition of objectives at the beginning of the study as well as a review of target achievement. - The cardiopulmonary endurance capacity is determined with the "Six Minute Walking Test". The walking distance is measured in meters.	—
