Video rehab boosts hand skills in kids with CP
NCT ID NCT07518511
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a special video program that adds sensory exercises to hand therapy could help children with cerebral palsy use their hands better. Forty children followed either the sensory-enhanced videos or standard exercise videos at home. The goal was to see if the sensory program improved dexterity more than the usual exercises.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sensory-Enhanced Home-based Intensive Program (SE-HIP) delivered via video
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, at-home video program to improve hand function in children with cerebral palsy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 40 children. The results may not apply to all children with CP, and the program may not work better than standard home exercises.
