Background: In children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP), bimanual assessments mostly focus on qualitative assessments of the impaired upper limb during bimanual tasks, which do not capture the spatiotemporal coordination between both hands. Hence, we aimed to advance our understandings in spatiotemporal coordination in children with uCP compared to typically developing children (TDC) using a bimanual, asymmetrical, goal-directed task.
Participants And Methodology: In this observational study, thirty-seven children with uCP (11y8m±2y10m, 20 males, 16 right-sided uCP, Manual Ability Classification System level I = 23, II = 11, III = 3) and 37 age and sex-matched TDC opened a box with one hand and pressed a button inside using the opposite hand.
Background: This study examined the construct validity of the Athlete Introductory Movement Screen (AIMS) in children.
Methods: Following ethics approval, parental consent, and child assent, 87 children (50 boys, 37 girls) aged 11-13 years (Mean ± SD = 12.4 ± 0.
Background: Accurate visual information is needed to guide and perform efficient movements in daily life.
Aims: To investigate the relation between visual functions, functional vision, and bimanual function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP).
Methods And Procedures: In 49 children with uCP (7-15 y), we investigated the relation between stereoacuity (Titmus Stereo Fly test), visual perception (Test of Visual Perceptual Skills), visuomotor integration (Beery Buktenica Test of Visual-Motor Integration) and functional vision (Flemish cerebral visual impairment questionnaire) with bimanual dexterity (Tyneside Pegboard Test), bimanual coordination (Kinarm exoskeleton robot, Box opening task), and functional hand use (Children's Hand-use Experience Questionnaire; Assisting Hand Assessment) using correlations (r) and elastic-net regularized regressions (d).
