What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders resulting from a permanent but non-progressive lesion in the developing brain, which affects the development of movement and posture and may lead to activity limitations. Upper extremity involvement is observed in approximately 60% of children with CP. Abnormal muscle tone, imbalance between agonist and antagonist muscles, spasticity, alignment problems, reduced muscle strength, and impaired motor control are among the upper extremity impairments seen in CP. As a result, hand use is typically affected in a way that negatively influences the performance of daily living activities. Upper extremity functionality and hand use are crucial for participation in daily life and overall quality of life in children with CP. In addition to conventional rehabilitation methods, advances in technology have introduced various new modalities for upper extremit
