Brief Summary

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

This is a comparative study where two protocols of intensive therapies will be applied to study the improvements in the functional performance of the affected upper limb of children with hemiparesis and check whether to increase their quality of life.

Detailed Description

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

the intervention protocols combine different doses of intensive therapy, being 80 hours of modified constraint induced movement therapy followed by 20 hours for protocol 1 and protocol 2 would be the application of protocol 1 inverted, with this, the investigators want to compare how both protocols interfere in the function of the affected upper limb of children with different levels of bimanual functional performance.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

low performance group 1

Protocol 1 will be the intervention administered with 80 h modified constraint induced movement therapy and 20 h bimanual intensive therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

intensive therapies(CIMT/BIT): protocol 1 or protocol 2

Intervention Type COMBINATION_PRODUCT

The therapies applied in both protocols are intensive therapies that allow the execution of unimanual activities or bimanual activities with the affected upper limb with different doses.

the protocols were carried out at home through the family

low performance group 2

Protocol 2 will be the intervention administered with 80h bimanual intensive therapy and 20h modified constraint induced movement therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
