IMPACT of an Instrumented Measurement on a Performance Assessment in Cerebral Palsy Treatment

First, the participant will undergo a performance assessment using the Assisting Hand Assessment test, following the standard protocol in the occupational therapy room. Subsequently, they will proceed to the motion analysis laboratory located across the hall, where an engineer will outfit them with motion capture markers. These markers comprise ultra-reflective spheres affixed to specific anatomical landmarks on their upper limbs using hypoallergenic tape. Afterward, the participant's functional capacity will be evaluated using the Melbourne Assessment. Finally, a second round of assessment using the Assisting Hand Assessment will be conducted.
