First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether using a ride-on toy for 6 weeks can help children with cerebral palsy use their weaker arm and hand more. Ten children will wear a mitten on their stronger hand to encourage using the other hand while driving and playing. Researchers will measure changes in arm function and daily use through parent reports and video tests.
