Exploring Engagement as a Key Ingredient in the Efficacy of CIMT and HABIT Interventions for Children with Unilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy
The results highlighted the relationship between age and engagement, emphasizing the importance of age-appropriate intervention strategies. Engagement played a role in improvements observed on capacity-based hand function tests, suggesting that engagement during therapeutic camps may be more critical for capacity-based than for performance-based motor activities. These insights support the design of targeted, age-appropriate interventions that optimize therapeutic outcomes for children with USCP.
