Summary
A randomized control trial examining the relationship between changes in hand function and brain plasticity following intensive therapy. Two treatment approaches are used: constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) or Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy (HABIT). The protocols have been developed at TC Columbia University to be child friendly and draw upon our extensive experience with constraint-induced movement therapy in children with cerebral palsy. Our center has been providing interventions camps for children with cerebral palsy since 1998. The interventions are performed in a 15 day day-camp setting with several children and at least one interventionist per child. The aim of the intervention is to improve the use of the affected hand and quality of overall movement in a fun, social setting. PARTICIPATION IS FREE.
