Summary

This study tests whether a gamified mobile app called HEMImprove 1.0 can help adolescents with unilateral cerebral palsy improve their arm function. Thirty-six teens will be randomly assigned to use the app at home or do conventional exercises from a manual, both for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in motor skills, motivation, and quality of life before and after the program.
