Brief summary

The goal of this study is to assess the impact of passive reflective markers on bimanual performance assessment scores in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it possible to instrument performance assessment without changing the functionnal behaviour of the patient ? * How is this behavious modified ? During their usual occupational therpy assessment at the CMCR Massues, participants will do a second bimanual performance assessment with passive reflection markers taped on their trunk, humerus and forearm. The glocal scores and sub items scors of both instrumented and non instrumented assessment will be compared.

Interventions

OTHERAHA Not Instrumented then AHA Instrumented

First, the participant will undergo a performance assessment using the Assisting Hand Assessment test, following the standard protocol in the occupational therapy room. Subsequently, they will proceed to the motion analysis laboratory located across the hall, where an engineer will outfit them with motion capture markers. These markers comprise ultra-reflective spheres affixed to specific anatomical landmarks on their upper limbs using hypoallergenic tape. Afterward, the participant's functional capacity will be evaluated using the Melbourne Assessment. Finally, a second round of assessment using the Assisting Hand Assessment will be conducted.

Finally, they will go to the occupational therapy room where a second round of assessment using the Assisting Hand Assessment without markers will be conducted.
