Evaluation of Functional, Neuroplastic and Biomechanical Changes Induced by an Intensive, Playful Early-morning Treatment Including Lower Limbs (EARLY-HABIT-ILE) in Preschool Children With Uni and Bilateral Cerebral Palsy

France42 participantsStarted 2019-08-18

Plain-language summary

An urgent priority in the field of paediatric neurorehabilitation is the development of effective early motor interventions. Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (= HABIT-ILE) applies the concepts of motor skill learning and intensive training to both the Upper Extremities (UE) and Lower Extremities (LE) and has been shown to improve aspects of motor function of the UE and LE in school age children with unilateral and bilateral Cerebral Palsy (CP) across the 3 levels of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICFDH). The principles and content of HABIT-ILE can be applied to pre-school children and this method is highly promising for early rehabilitation.
