Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a trunk and upper extremities exercise program. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Whether the program decreases compensation patterns in unilateral cerebral palsy children Whether the program decreases pain in unilateral cerebral palsy children Whether the program improves bimanual ability in unilateral cerebral palsy children Participants will undertake and 8-week program exercise at home If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare with the control group to see if this program decreases compensation patterns.

Detailed Description

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

Children in control group will continue with their daily activities. Children in experimental group, apart from their daily activities, will undertake an 8-week program exercise at home for strengthening the trunk and the proximal part of both upper extremities. It contains 3 progressions that can be applied if needed.

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

One member of the research team responsible for carrying out the evaluations of the dependent variables and the collection of data carried out by the participant himself and/or his families, will remain blinded to the assignment of the participants to the study groups.

In this sense, it is worth saying that the person responsible for carrying out the evaluations will do so only for the main variable, that is to say, he will be the one who will carry out the registration of the compensatory movements of the proximal part of the upper limb and trunk through the DLC . The secondary response variables are evaluated through self-administered scales and this same evaluator will be in charge of collecting the data provided by the families.

Study Groups

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

Standard group

Children in this group will continue with their daily activities such as conventional physiotherapy and occupational therapy, even psychology, and their physical activities such as swimming or playing football.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

TUPEX group

Children in this group will continue with their daily activities and will add the TUPEX program during 8 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

TUPEX

Intervention Type OTHER

This program contains exercises with their own body weight or with Thera-bands for gaining strength in their shoulder and trunk muscles. It contains some progression exercise if needed.

Each session can last between 20 and 30 minutes. Children have to do each session three times a week during 8 weeks.
