Bimanual Training in Children With Hemiplegia

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hemiplegia, Cerebral Palsy, Children

In brief

A randomized control trial of bimanual training in children with hemiplegia. The protocols have been developed at Columbia University to be child friendly and draws upon our experience since 1997 with constraint-induced movement therapy in children with cerebral palsy. The investigators will test the hypothesis that bimanual training (HABIT) will result in improved hand function in children with hemiplegia.
