Details and patient eligibility

About

Twenty pediatric patients aged 5-17 years with Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI) will be randomized to receive either a bimanual-to-unimanual device home training program (10 subjects) or a conventional non-device home training program (10 subjects) for a period of 6 weeks.

The specific aims of this proposal are to:

Aim 1: Introduce home-based targeted upper limb training in children with hemiplegia from ABI (Acquired Brain Injuries) using a bimanual-to-unimanual training approach It is hypothesized that child-friendly home-based upper limb bimanual-to-unimanual training will lead to greater compliance and improved motor outcome on the Fugl Myer Scale compared to a conventional home training program.

Aim 2: Improve the understanding of the pattern of recovery of isolated joint movements in the pediatric population with hemiplegia following ABI.

It is hypothesized that individuals receiving device-based bimanual-to-unimanual training will show improvement in active range of motion across upper limb joints compared with a conventional home training program.
