The Impact of Dosing Schedule on the Efficacy of Hand–Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including the Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) in Children With Bilateral Cerebral Palsy
< .05 on all primary measures). Overall, there was not an advantage of 1 dosing schedule over the other.ConclusionsA distributed model of HABIT-ILE can produce similar gains and retention in gross motor function, manual dexterity, balance, and trunk control in children with BCP. The findings may allow clinicians more flexibility in decision-making with regard to the delivery method to fit the preferences for family routines, potentially increasing the feasibility of implementing intensive therapies into clinical practice.Trial Registration NumberNCT03940989.
