A total of 182 children, 110 with ABI and 72 with CP and with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-IV, were evaluated retrospectively.
One hundred and fifty-one individuals with CP aged 16 to 20 years were included (63% male, 37% female; Gross Motor Function Classification System [GMFCS] levels I-IV; without intellectual disability).
Children with CP (N=41; age range 5-18y, Gross Motor Function Classification System I-IV) were randomized to a control group (CG) (n=21, 2 dropouts) receiving conventional therapy or an intervention group (IG) (n=20) receiving hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy-including lower extremities (HABIT-ILE).
<b>Methods</b>: Cohort studies were included if the participants were children with cerebral palsy at Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Level I-IV, initial measurement of walking by 13 years of age and follow-up measurement by 30 years of age.
One hundred and forty-six children with CP (mean age: 5.78 ± 1.72 years, male: 56.2%) presenting variable function (gross motor function classification system [GMFCS], levels I-IV) participated in this study.
Inclusion: cerebral palsy or brain injury; age 4-15 years; Manual Abilities Classification System (MACS) I-IV; goals related to hand function; sufficient cognitive, language and behavioral ability to undertake CO-OP.
Inclusion: age 4-15 years; diagnosis of cerebral palsy or brain injury; Manual Ability Classification System I-IV; hand function goals; sufficient language, cognitive and behavioral ability.
