About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

Cerebral palsy occurs in 2-2.5 per 1000 live births, seems to be the most common cause of lifelong physical disability, and has an impact on the child, caregivers, and society. The incidence of cerebral palsy continues to rise owing to the large numbers of premature and high-risk infants who survive. Task-oriented arm approaches promote intensive, meaningful, and goal-oriented training in subjects, and the voluntary functional activities of these subjects possibly reduce their motor disabilities.

The 2 groups in the trial
