Effects of Constraint-induced Movement Therapy With Home-based Hand-arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy in Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy

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.

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.
