Overview
Brief Summary
This 3-year research project aims to investigate and compare the immediate and long-term treatment effectiveness as well as motor improving curve and potential predictors of the unimanual intensive training and bimanual intensive training protocols with an equivalent intervention period in children with hemiplegic CP and children with CP with apparently one side affected. In addition, based on the ICF-CY model, comprehensive outcome measures including motor functions as well as psychological functions will be included.
