Summary

This study evaluates the therapeutic effects of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) with home-based hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy (H-HABIT) with unilateral cerebral palsy. Half of the participants will receive CIMT and H-HABIT and others will only receive CIMT.

Conditions

• Cerebral Palsy, Spastic Hemiplegic

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	CIMT	CIMT : Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is a deviation from traditional treatments, used to treat hemiplegia. Its aim is to stimulate the functional use of the affected limb and reverse the process developmental is disregard. In this method, the unaffected or less affected limb is restrained, so the person has to use the affected limb.
OTHER	H-HABIT	H-HABIT : Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy (HABIT) in children with hemiplegia is a new intervention developed at Columbia University. HABIT aims to improve the use and coordination of both arms in daily function. Unlike CIMT, HABIT focuses on improving the ability to perform bimanual activities. Participants will be monitored via webcam-based software (i.e. ZOOM) while they performed the activities in their own home.
