Summary

A pilot randomized clinical trial exploring the effect of a Multi Sensory Stimulation And Priming (MuSSAP) training on improving manual ability in infants at risk of developing unilateral Cerebral Palsy.

Conditions

  • Unilateral Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Multi Sensory Stimulation and Priming

In the MuSSAP intervention group, the infant wears a multisensory stimulating wristband aiming at increasing attention for the affected upper limb and readiness to initiate a goal-directed movement. Parents are instructed to present a toy to their child if the child shows attention to the affected arm and hand. Upper extremity motor activities like reaching, grasping and holding are practiced. Parents practice daily and once a week the training will be guided or conducted by a physical or occupational therapist in the home environment. An occupational therapist from the rehabilitation center will coach parents during the intervention period through the internet, by means of analyzing the videos from the home training.

BEHAVIORAL

Intensive Usual Care (Upper Limb)

The Intensive Usual Care (Upper Limb) intervention is a more intensive (in duration and frequency) version of standard Usual Care with focus on the motor development of the affected upper extremity. Upper extremity motor activities like reaching, grasping and holding are practiced. Parents practice daily and once a week the training will be guided or conducted by a physical or occupational therapist in the home environment. An occupational therapist from the rehabilitation center will coach parents during the intervention period through the internet, by means of analyzing the videos from the home training.
