Therapy by video for hand use in cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of hand therapy you can do at home through video calls. It tests if one helps children with cerebral palsy use their affected hand better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child has hemiplegic cerebral palsy (one side of the body is more affected) with mild to moderate hand problems.
- Your child can straighten their wrist at least 20 degrees and fingers at least 10 degrees from a fully bent position.
- Your child can follow instructions and complete the therapy tasks.
- Muscle tightness in the hand should be mild (score of 0, 1, or 1+ on a special scale).
- Your child does not have any other major health issues, vision problems, or uncontrolled seizures, and has not had hand surgery in the last year.

This trial tests a therapy called HABIT-ILE to see if it helps children with bilateral cerebral palsy improve hand use and brain function. It may be a good fit if your child can follow instructions and has certain levels of hand and movement ability.
This study tests whether a therapy called HABIT-ILE (hand-arm bimanual intensive training) combined with a home program improves how well children with cerebral palsy use both hands together. It is for young children aged 3 to 5 years who have weakness on one side.
This study tests a special hand and arm therapy for children with spastic cerebral palsy. The therapy also includes leg exercises to improve movement. It may help your child use their hands and arms better.
This trial tests an intensive therapy program that trains both hands together to improve hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child with everyday hand and arm skills, but it also requires meeting certain health, eye, and recent-treatment limits.
