Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aims of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinect-based upper limb motor rehabilitation system (ULMTS) program on motor performance and functional outcomes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The specific aims of this study project will be:

To compare the effectiveness of intervention groups using Kinect-based ULMTS with constraint-induced therapy on motor improvement in children with hemiplegic CP. The investigators hypothesize that motor improvement in using Kinect-based ULMTS will be comparable to constraint-induced therapy.
