About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Neurological Injury

Eligibility Criteria

2 Years - 12 Years (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants will range from 2 years to 11 years 11 months of age at time of enrollment. Children under 5 years of age will attend a morning session and children 6 years and older will attend an -Diagnosis: hemiplegia resulting from a neurological Injury
  • Manual Ability Classification System or Mini Manual Ability Classification System classification I-III

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Botox injection within past 6 months or planned for within 6 months post camp
  • Inability to follow commands
  • Family unable to commit to daily sessions for 4 weeks
  • Unable to tolerate assigned casting protocol (3-24 hours) daily for 4 weeks

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Continued Casting

Intermittent Casting

Arm Description

Participants with 24 hour cast wear (continued casting) for the entire duration of the constraint portion of camp (2 initial weeks).

Participants who wear a univalve cast for 3 hours of constraint camp with home exercise program of 2 hours cast wear on the weekends (intermittent casting).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pediatric Motor Activity Log
parent questionnaire to determine how well and how often the family perceives the child Spontaneously uses their affected Upper Extremity throughout the day at home. This assessment is scored by adding up the parental score and getting an average score.
Assisting Hand Assessment
Test of hand function in children with difficulties using one of their hands. The AHA measures how effectively the affected hand and arm is used in bimanual performance.
Melbourne-2
Test of unilateral upper limb function is a validated and reliable tool for evaluating quality of upper limb movement in children with neurological conditions aged 2.5 to 15 years.
