Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

To examine efficacy of combined unimanual and bimanual intensive therapy in children with unilateral brain injury. A key question in hemiplegia therapy is whether the affected hand should be trained alone or in tandem with the other hand. In constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), a participant's less-affected upper extremity is restricted with a sling, cast, or mitt, while the participant actively uses the affected arm and hand in skill-based therapeutic activities. Bimanual therapy, in contrast, engages both hands in therapeutic movement. Since constraint and bimanual therapy target different aspects of hand use, they could have synergistic effects on hand function when given in combination.
