Hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy including lower extremities (HABIT-ILE) for children with cerebral palsy.

Hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy and constrained-induced movement therapy have shown evidence of effectiveness in improvement of upper extremity use in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The effectiveness of interventions that are based on intensive practice of activities that combine UE and LE functions has not been reported. We propose that bimanual UE activities that si...

A comparative study on conventional therapy and hand arm bimanual intensive therapy on manual ability of upper limb functions among hemiparetic cerebral palsy children

Background: Cerebral palsy is the most common pediatric physical disability, with an incidence of 2.0–2.5 cases per 1000 births. Spastic hemiplegia accounts for more than one third of all new cases and the impairments of upper extremities affect the functional independence and quality of life. Methods: Ten children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy were treated by conventional therapy and Hand ar...

A multi-site study of functional outcomes following a themed approach to hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy for children with hemiplegia.

AIM This study investigated the effects of a theme-based ('magic') variation of the hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy programme, in two different countries, in improving activity performance for children with hemiplegia, including those with severe movement restrictions. METHOD Twenty-three children with spastic hemiplegia (13 males, 10 females; mean age 10y 7mo, range 7-15y; Manual Ability...

Effect of Resisted Bimanual Therapy With Auditory Cues on Arm Function, Balance, and Endurance in Stroke Survivors: A Pilot Study

Objectives: Upper limb motor impairment causes limited activities of daily living in stroke survivors. Bimanual therapy is based on Bimanual movement that facilitates cortical balancing by simultaneous movement of paretic and non-paretic arms while performing a task. Studies aimed at exploring the effects of resisted Bimanual therapy with rhythmic auditory cues on arm function, balance, and end...

Short-term Efficacy of Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Training on Upper Arm Function in Acute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background Rehabilitation training during the acute phase of stroke (<48 h) markedly improves impaired upper-limb movement. Hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT) represents an intervention that promotes improvements in upper extremity function in children with cerebral palsy. This study repurposed HABIT in acute stroke patients and assessed recovery of upper extremity function when compa...
