Official Title: Carry-Over Effects of Lower Limb Cross-Training Priming on Upper Limb Function in Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary:
PURPOSE:The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the potential carry-over effects of a 6-week lower limb strengthening-based cross-training (CT) priming protocol, added to standard physical rehabilitation, on affected upper limb function in children aged 6-8 years with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP), compared to standard physical rehabilitation alone.BACKGROUND:Children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) experience motor impairments affecting both lower and upper limbs, significantly…
