Adaptive Arm Training for Children With Hemiplegia

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cerebral Palsy, Hemiplegia, Hemiparesis, Acquired Brain Injury

In brief

The goal of this research is to provide limb training in children with hemiplegia using a bimanual-to-unimanual training approach. Twenty pediatric patients aged 5-17 years with acquired brain injury will receive training on the bimanual-to-unimanual device for a period of 9 weeks. During the training, children use both arms to operate robotic arms to play a video game. We will assess changes in hand impairment after the training.
