Summary

This study is working to create better methods for evaluating how children with and without stroke or cerebral palsy use their arms and hands. Researchers will observe 80 children, including those with perinatal stroke and typically developing infants, using video and play-based assessments. The goal is to develop a new tool called the BAM Index that could help therapists choose more effective rehabilitation strategies.
