Wereables for Upper Limb Functionality in Hemiparesis
The project is configured as a national interventional study that aims to determine the effectiveness of an intervention strategy using wearable technology, tailored to improve function (WeFun-wearable), on the spontaneous use of the affected upper extremity, activities of daily living and the participation in children

| Summary | The project is configured as a national interventional study that aims to determine the effectiveness of an intervention strategy using wearable technology, tailored to improve function (WeFun-wearable), on the spontaneous use of the affected upper extremity, activities of daily living and the participation in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. |
| Who can participate | Inclusion Criteria: * Confirmed diagnosis of UCP. * Children aged between 3 and 8 years old. * Children rated on levels I to III on the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS). Exclusion Criteria: * Botulinum toxin injection or surgical interventions in the upper limb within 6 months prior to study entry. * Medical complications non-controlled that would interfere with study participation (e.g., not controlled epilepsy). * Predominantly athetoid or dystonia movement patterns. * Insufficient cognitive level to follow instructions, * Non-corrected marked visual impairments. Families can be retired from the study after starting if: * Families don't assist or don't collaborate in the weekly sessions with the reference person. * Wearable activity if presumably lower than expected (few recor |
