Brief Summary

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

The aim of the project is to assess the neurophysiological and functional consequences of forced lefthandedness in a population with right neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP).

Detailed Description

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

A cross-sectional case-control study design to assess the neurophysiological and functional consequences of forced lefthandedness in a population with right neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP). Controls are natural lefthanded typical developing children and adolescents.Case and controls are matched for age, gender and activity level.
