Efficacy of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy Delivered by Tele-Video for Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
The CHAMP-T2 study is a pilot test of the efficacy of constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) when delivered by tele-video in the child's home or home-like environment. This study will examine the pre-, post-intervention function a hemiparetic limb in children who have hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The purpose is to provide an effect size estimate that will inform the design of a future study that will compare tele-delivered CIMT with usual and customary care.
• Children who have hemiplegic cerebral palsy, ages 4-10;
• hemiparesis ranging from Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) I to MACS IV;
• live within a 1.5 hour distance from therapists' worksites at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio, or the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute in Roanoke, Virginia;
• are willing to travel to these sites for two in-person assessments.
