Summary

This study is testing whether hand and arm assessments done over video calls are as good as those done in person for children with cerebral palsy. About 100 kids aged 6 to 17 will complete assessments both virtually and in a clinic, and researchers will compare the results. If virtual assessments prove reliable, it could make care more accessible for families who face travel or scheduling challenges.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Virtual videoconference assessment
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that remote hand-arm assessments are a reliable option, reducing travel and scheduling burdens for families.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all children. Technical issues or differences in scoring could limit virtual assessment use.

Who is studied

The study population consists of children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years with a confirmed diagnosis of cerebral palsy who have functional hand and arm abilities classified within Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) Levels I-III. Participants must have sufficient cognitive and physical capacity to participate in virtual videoconference-based assessments for up to 30 minutes at a time and must have access to an internet-enabled device suitable for completing virtual sessions. Each participant must be accompanied by a caregiver who can assist with study procedures, provide demographic and experience-related information, and record brief home activity videos.
