Overview
Brief Summary
Using a randomized controlled trial design, in an hospital environment, possible changes induced by the "Hand-arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE)" treatment program will be investigated in functional activities of daily living, motor and cognitive assessment of children with acquired brain injury.
Detailed Description
The aim is to investigate, for the first time, the effectiveness of HABIT-ILE therapy in a hospital setting in the treatment of a population representative of the clinical population with children with acquired brain injuries. The hypothesis is that an in-hospital HABIT-ILE protocol will be more effective than conventional therapies usually given to children with acquired brain injury, and that this difference will be objectively demonstrated by clinical assessments of motor function, cognition and participation conducted before and after treatment periods. The aim of the study is therefore to evaluate the effect of intensive bimanual hand-arm therapy including the lower extremities (HABIT-ILE) on body functions and structures, activity and participation in children with acquired brain injury.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Flanker task
Time Frame: T0 (baseline), T1 (after 2weeks intervention), T2(3 months follow-up)
Cognitive functions of the children will be assessed by Flanker task.
Changes in Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM 66)
Time Frame: T0 (baseline), T1 (after 2weeks intervention), T2(3 months follow-up)
The GMFM has been developed to measure the change in gross motor function over time in children with cerebral palsy.

- Changes in Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC-20)(T0 (baseline), T1 (after 2weeks intervention), T2(3 months follow-up))
- Status in Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Non verbal short version (WISC)(T0 (baseline))
- Classification du niveau moteur: The Gross Motor Function Classification System - Expanded & Revised (GMFCS - E&R)(T0 (baseline))
- QUALITY OF LIFE : KIDSCREEN 10(T0 (baseline), T1 (after 2weeks intervention), T2(3 months follow-up))
