Daily‐life executive functions and bimanual performance in children with unilateral cerebral palsy
A higher number of children with unilateral CP exhibit difficulties in daily-life executive functions, which appear to be mainly co-occurring with ASD. Manual ability was a significant factor of inhibition-related behavioural challenges. Furthermore, there seems to be a relation between impaired executive functions and decreased bimanual performance. The findings emphasize the importance of further research, including performance-based assessments of executive functions in children with unilateral CP.
