Summary

Cerebral Palsy, in particular in its unilateral spastic form (uCP), is the main cause of motor disability in children, with a prevalence of 2/1000 births. These children have upper limb motor impairments that hinder the realization of activities of daily life in bimanual situations. 3D motion analysis (3DMA) is an objective and precise tool, considered as the gold standard for gait analysis. The existing 3DMA protocols consist of movements too standardized, in unimanual situations away from gestures of everyday life, or have not been validated in bimanual situations.

In a preliminary study, a 3DMA bimanual protocol was study. it was composed of 4 tasks integrated into a game scenario to have more spontaneity of movements, similar to those experienced by children in daily life. It allows the exploration of all degrees of freedom of the upper limb. Results showed an excellent acceptability and within day reliability on 20 uCP children and 20 typically developing children (TDC) for funct

Conditions

  • Unilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

DEVICE

Bimanual 3D Motion Analysis " Be-API "

Movements will be measured using an optoelectronic system (12 cameras) which captures the displacement of 26 markers placed on the upper limbs and trunk of the child, according to the standards of the International Society of Biomechanics. The child is installed on a chair and table height (equipment adapted and approved for pediatrics). A game board is installed in front of the child, with objects to handle, set and placed according to its anthropometry (joystick, steering wheel, buzzer, board, chip).
