| Consumer Summary: | KEY POINTS: QUESTION: What is the effect of early Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) intervention on bimanual performance vs usual, unstructured spontaneous motor activity in children between 1 and 4 years old with unilateral cerebral palsy after 3 months? FINDINGS: This randomized clinical trial including 50 children found improvements in bimanual hand function scores that were significantly higher in the HABIT-ILE group than in the control group. MEANING: Early HABIT-ILE improved bimanual performance more than usual motor activity in young children with unilateral cerebral palsy. |
