Summary

This study tested whether a home-based video program with added sensory exercises could improve hand function in children with cerebral palsy better than standard video exercises. Forty children with mild spasticity participated, doing either the sensory-enhanced or standard program. The goal was to see if the sensory approach led to greater improvements in manual dexterity.
