Overview
Brief Summary
The long-term goal of this project is to assess the impact of the novel sensory stimulation technique in enhancing outcomes of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in children with cerebral palsy. This is a pilot project.
Detailed Description
The stimulation is peripheral sensory stimulation involving application of low-level, random-frequency vibration to the wrist skin. The hypothesis is that improvement in upper extremity function will be greater for the experimental group receiving the stimulation during CIMT compared with the control group who will wear the device with no vibration (placebo). This pilot study is to assess feasibility and safety.
