Efficacy of Upper Limb Therapies for Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: A Meta-analysis

TL;DR: There is modest evidence that intensive activity-based, goal-directed interventions (eg, constraint-induced movement therapy, bimanual training) are more effective than standard care in improving UL and individualized outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Therapeutic Management of Upper-Limb Dysfunction in Children With Congenital Hemiplegia

TL;DR: No one treatment approach seems to be superior; however, injections of botulinum toxin A provide a supplementary benefit to a variety of upper-limb–training approaches as well as more-intensive approaches such as constraint-induced movement therapy and hand-arm bimanual intensive training.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinimetric properties of participation measures for 5- to 13-year-old children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review.

TL;DR: This study systematically reviewed the validity, reliability, sensitivity to change, and clinical utility of measurements of participation for children with cerebral palsy to find measures that reported adequate responsiveness to detect clinically significant change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Randomized trial of constraint-induced movement therapy and bimanual training on activity outcomes for children with congenital hemiplegia.

TL;DR: To determine if constraint‐induced movement therapy (CIMT) is more effective than bimanual training (BIM) in improving upper limb activity outcomes for children with congenital hemiplegia in a matched‐pairs randomized trial.
