About
A randomized control trial investigating if an early intervention program of modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy for babies, Baby-CIMT, performed before 12 months of age will improve hand function in children with risk for developing cerebral palsy.
Full description
The investigators hypothesis is that Baby-CIMT including intensive specific task oriented training is more preferable than general stimulation which is the assumption for baby massage used in the control group. The intervention protocol is developed at Astrid Lindgren Children hospital, Stockholm Sweden.
