Feasibility of Action Observation Training [AOT] in Infants After Unilateral Brain Lesion

Parents are instructed to show their child repetitive arm, hand and finger movements in a playful and age-appropriate way for about 20 minutes a day, divided into several short sequences. AOT is to be carried out for four weeks at home by the parents and, if necessary, other caregivers. The parents receive instructions which contain background information on the possible importance of AOT for improving the functions of the upper limb, information about positions, promoting motivation, attention and interest as well as tips for promoting movement observation in everyday life.
