Background: Hand function impairment is the main disability among children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. They start to perform most motor tasks exclusively with their unaffected upper limb, thereby causing a phenomenon described as learned nonuse. To minimize this phenomenon, constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is emerging as a rehabilitation strategy for improving the functional use o...

Recent studies suggest that in addition to low-level motor impairments, individuals with hemiparetic cerebral palsy (HCP) are characterized by anticipatory action planning deficits as well. In the present EEG study we investigated the neural and temporal dynamics of action planning in participants with right-sided HCP (n=10) and in left-handed control subjects (n=10). An anticipatory planning t...
