5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to determine the feasibility of the portable version of the YouGrabber® system in children with central motor disorders.
Detailed Description
In a feasibility trial with the portable version of the YouGrabber® system it will be determined if the technique and equipment are ready to be used in a home setting where children with central motor disorders train with assistance of caregivers but without a therapist. Furthermore, it will be examined if children and adolescents with central motor disorders accept this home-based system and if they are motivated for using it.
