简要总结
A randomized control trial of bimanual training. The protocols have been developed at Columbia University to be child friendly and draws upon our experience since 1997 with constraint-induced movement therapy in children with cerebral palsy.
详细描述
A new treatment involving bimanual (Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy (HABIT). The protocols have been developed at Columbia University to be child friendly and draws upon our experience since 1998 with constraint-induced movement therapy in children with cerebral palsy. The interventions are performed in a 15 day day-camp setting with several children and at least one therapist per child. We have conducted 24 day camps to date since 2002, and are now collaborating with clinicians worldwide to expand our treatment availability. The aim is to promote the use of and improve the coordination of movement of both hands together. PARTICIPATION IS FREE.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Score on Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA)
时间窗: Baseline, 6 months
The Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA) quantifies the effectiveness with which a child with unilateral disability uses his/her affected (assisting) hand in bimanual activity. Scores range from 0-100 units, with higher scores signifying better bimanual performance.
Change in Score on the Jebsen-Taylor Test of Hand Function (JTTHF)
时间窗: Baseline, 6 months
The Jebsen-Taylor Test of Hand Function (JTTHF) is a standardized test of simulated functional tasks quantifying the time to complete a battery of unimanual tasks. The activities performed include flipping index cards, object placement, simulated eating, stacking checkers, and manipulating empty and full cans. Scores range from 0-1080 seconds, with a lower score signifying better hand function.
