Virtual hand and arm assessments for kids with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a virtual visit can assess hand and arm function in children with cerebral palsy. It may help families get care without traveling to a clinic.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy
- Your child is between 6 and 17 years old and can sit still for 30 minutes
