- Original description
Motor disorders related to cerebral palsy are often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, perceptive, communication and behavioural impairments. It has already been shown that intensive bimanual intervention can improve arm movement, but its impact on the spontaneous use of the most affected arm in everyday life remains to be established. This project aims to understand the impacts of an intensive bimanual therapy on uni- and bi-manual motor functions as well as the spontaneous use of the most affected arm. Predictive value of neuroimaging variables will also be assessed.Read full original descriptionShow less
Predictors of Response to an Intensive Bimanual Intervention in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Motor disorders related to cerebral palsy are often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, perceptive, communication and behavioural impairments. It has already been shown that intensive bimanual intervention can improve arm movement, but its impact on the spontaneous use of the most affected arm in everyday life remains to be established. This project aims to understand the impacts of an intensive bimanual therapy on uni- and bi-manual motor functions as well as the spontaneous use of the most affected arm. Predictive value of neuroimaging variables will also be assessed.
Inclusion: Having a diagnosis of cerebral palsy or spastic hemiparesis encephalopathy; Having sensorimotor deficits of one or both upper limb (spastic hemiparesis with a dominance on one side of the body; Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) level; 1, 2 or 3); Having cognitive capacities to understand and perform task of the study.
Exclusion: Having Botox injection in one or both upper limbs with the 4 months prior to the intervention; Presenting significant uncorrected visual deficits; N.B. Having a ferromagnetic implant is not an exclusion criterion, such participant will be eligible but will not perform the MRI; Presenting other significant health problem which may interfere with the requested task or with the clinical intervention.
