About

This study aims to investigate the changes induced by HABIT-ILE in impairments, activity and participation of children with unilateral CP, as well as neuroplastic changes induced by the treatment. Visuospatial deficits will be investigated and the effect of prismatic adaptation will be measured.

Full description

This study aims to investigate the changes induced by HABIT-ILE at the 3 levels of the international classification of functioning and health (ICF) in children with unilateral CP, as well as neuroplastic changes induced by the treatment. Visuospatial deficits will be investigated and the effect of prismatic adaptation will be measured.
