Bimanual Training in Children With Hemiplegia With Lower Limb and Postural Stimulation (HABIT & Leg)
Effet de la réadaptation Sur Les déficiences, Limitations d'activité et Restriction de la Participation Des Enfants présentant Des lésions Neurologiques Non-évolutives (Infirmes Moteurs cérébraux).

A randomized control trial of "HABIT & leg" therapy at regular or intensive frequency. The protocols have been developped on the basis of bimanual therapy (HABIT) developped at Columbia University.

A randomized control trial of "HABIT & leg" therapy at regular or intensive frequency. The protocols have been developed on the basis of bimanual therapy (HABIT) developped at Columbia University. The interventions take place either in a 2 weeks day and night camp, either in regular intervention (1 to 5 hours a week). The study is also designed to contrast results with regular NDT treatments. Children of all groups will beneficiate from 90h of treatment. Both in the camp and the regular interventions, there is at least one therapist for each child.
