Comparative Effectiveness of a Kinect-based Unilateral Arm Training System vs Constraint-Induced Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Cerebral Palsy
• Interventions: Other: Constraint-induced therapy; Other: kinect-based constraint-induced therapy

• Registration Number: NCT02808195
• Lead Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital

Brief Summary

The aims of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinect-based upper limb motor rehabilitation system (ULMTS) program on motor performance and functional outcomes.

Detailed Description

The specific aims of this study project will be:

To compare the effectiveness of intervention groups using Kinect-based ULMTS with constraint-induced therapy on motor improvement in children with hemiplegic CP. The investigators hypothesize that motor improvement in using Kinect-based ULMTS will be comparable to constraint-induced therapy.
