Summary

This study tests two types of therapy—virtual reality exercises and motor-cognitive dual-task training—in 14 children aged 7-14 with brachial plexus birth injury, a nerve condition that weakens the arm. The goal is to see which approach better improves arm movement, strength, and brain adaptation. Participants will be randomly assigned to one program for 12 weeks, followed by a 9-month home program, with brain scans and function tests at key points.
