Brief summary

Randomized control trial to evaluate uni-manual and bimanual upper limb function as well as compare outcomes of varied cast wear in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) following a hybrid camp model of modified constraint induced movement therapy (mCIMT) and hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT).

Interventions

BEHAVIORALConstraint induced movement therapy (CIMT)

Involves forcing use of ones affected upper extremity (UE) by physically restraining the less affected upper extremity

BEHAVIORALHand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT)

Facilitates the translation of gains to improve goal-directed bimanual performance.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Pediatric Motor Activity Log	6 Months	parent questionnaire to determine how well and how often the family perceives the child Spontaneously uses their affected Upper Extremity throughout the day at home. This assessment is scored by adding up the parental score and getting an average score.
Assisting Hand Assessment	6 Months	Test of hand function in children with difficulties using one of their hands. The AHA measures how effectively the affected hand and arm is used in bimanual performance.
Melbourne-2	6 Months	Test of unilateral upper limb function is a validated and reliable tool for evaluating quality of upper limb movement in children with neurological conditions aged 2.5 to 15 years.
