| Abstract: | Background Rehabilitation for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) aimed to improve function of the impaired upper limb (UL)
uses a wide range of intervention programs. A new rehabilitative approach, called Action-Observation Therapy, based on the
recent discovery of mirror neurons, has been used in adult stroke but not in children. The purpose of the present study is
to design a randomised controlled trial (RCT) for evaluating the efficacy of Action-Observation Therapy in improving UL activity
in children with HCP. |
