Telemedicine in Early Childhood Constraint Therapy in Cerebral Palsy

Telemedicine for young children with cerebral palsy therapy trial.

4-13 years

Phase N/A

This study is about helping infants with cerebral palsy (CP), a condition that affects movement due to brain problems at birth. It explores using telemedicine to provide therapy, which means doctors can help patients over a computer or phone instead of in person. The study looks at two types of therapy: **constraint-induced movement therapy**, which uses constraints to encourage movement in weaker limbs, and **bimanual therapy**, which involves using both arms together. The research aims to see how these compare to regular care. The goal is to improve arm and hand function in babies with CP by involving parents in therapy sessions at home. This could be helpful where in-person visits are hard to access.

  • The study involves infants aged 4 to 13 months with CP.
  • Parents need to participate in therapy sessions at home.
  • Participants will be divided into three groups for different therapy sequences.
