Summary

The contralateral hand deficits are often masked by the complex clinical presentation of the more affected hand in children with spastic hemiparesis. Thus, intervention targeting the contralateral hand is not often a component of the child's rehabilitation plan of care. The presence of bilateral hand deficits, even if subtle in the contralateral hand, may limit the transfer of unimanual gains following rehabilitation to bimanual activities of daily living tasks. However, conservation of upper-limb function of the less-affected side is highly important for individuals with hemiparesis, because this side is often employed as a compensatory 'tool' in performing activities of daily living . Therefore, the current study will be conducted to determine and compare the motor abilities of the less affected hand of children with hemiparesis.
