Abstract

To examine the efficacy of Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy (HABIT) on daily functioning, unimanual dexterity, and bimanual performance of children with bilateral cerebral palsy (CP) compared with customary care. Forty-one children with bilateral CP, aged 4 to 16 years, classified in levels I to III of the Manual Ability Classification System, were randomly assigned to HABIT (90h) (n=21) or to customary care (4.5h) (n=20). Participants' daily functioning (Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory [PEDI], Canadian Occupational Performance Measure [COPM]), unimanual dexterity (Jebsen-Taylor Test of Hand Function, Box and Blocks Test [BBT]), and bimanual performance (Both Hands Assessment) were assessed pre-, post-, and 6 months after the intervention. Linear mixed-effects models were used for inferential analysis. Children participating in HABIT showed greater improvements in daily functioning (COPMperformance : χ 1 2 =9.50, p<0.01; COPMsatisfaction : χ 1 2 =5.07, p<0.05; PEDIfunctional skills : χ 1 2 =6.81, p<0.01; PEDIcaregiver assistance : χ 1 2 =6.23, p<0.05) and in the dexterity of the dominant hand (BBT: χ 1 2 =3.99, p<0.05) compared with children maintaining customary care. Group or time effects did not explain ...Continue Reading
