Effectiveness of the Functional Hand Splint and Specific Tasks in the Domiciliary Environment Applied to Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy. Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Home-based protocol in specific tasks and Upper-limb splint for Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis and Cerebral Palsy Infantile. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The main objective: To determine the effectiveness of a treatment that combines the application of a functional upper limb orthosis together with a home-based program of specific tasks in children with unilateral cerebral palsy versus a home-based program of specific tasks in improving structure and function, activity and participation. Hypothesis: The application of a functional upper limb orthosis together with a home-based program of specific tasks in children with unilateral cerebral palsy results in a greater improvement in structure and function, activity and participation compared to the implementation of a home-based specific task program.

Timeline
Interventions
The home-based protocol in specific tasks will be an individualized protocol designed for the child according to the results of the baseline assessment and will require active participation. It is a program that is integrated into the daily routines of the child. A study investigator will tell the family the procedure to follow.
In the case that treatment with splint is also received, a researcher of this study will take measurements of the hand and will provide the appropriate splint. The intensity of the application will be 5 days a week from monday to friday, for 6 hours a day, for a period of 6 weeks.
