Inclusion Criteria:
Toddlers from both groups were included in this study if they met the following inclusion criteria:

* maximum independent walking experience of 6 months, and
* able to walk 5 metres without falling and with no technical assistance. Regarding the UCP group, one additional inclusion criterion was added: right or left hemiparesis with a typical history of CP (prematurity, before birth stroke, acute foetal distress/ birth hypoxia, brain malformations...).
Regarding the TD group, two additional inclusion criteria were: typical development and independent gait acquired before the age of 18 months.
