Among the 372 studies in Cerebral Palsy with a site in United States, from their registry updates:
The goal of this research is to provide limb training in children with hemiplegia using a bimanual-to-unimanual training approach. Twenty pediatric patients aged 5-17 years with acquired brain injury will receive training on the bimanual-to-unimanual device for a period of 9 weeks. During the training, children use both arms to operate robotic arms to play a video game. We will assess changes in hand impairment after the training.
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Children in the study will all receive the same treatment, which includes 9 weeks of training on the bimanual arm trainer robotic device.
Device: Bimanual Arm Training
Device-based bimanual-to-unimanual training will be provided with the Bimanual Arm Trainer (BAT, Mirrored Motion Works, NC). The device provides bimanual-to-unimanual training of simultaneous shoulder external rotation and elbow extension, and independent training of pronation-supination and grasp and release of each hand. Range of motion and speed are recorded during training and feedback and motivation are provided through age-appropriate gaming modules.
Change in Assisting Hand Assessment
The Assisting Hand Assessment evaluated how effectively children use their hands to complete bimanual tasks.
Time frame: Before intervention compared to after intervention
Change in Box and Box Test
The Box and Blocks test measures how many blocks a child can move with one hand from one box to another in one minute with the impaired hand.
Time frame: Before intervention compared to after intervention
Change in range of motion
The robotic device measures range of motion of the shoulder.
Time frame: Before intervention compared to after intervention
Plan to share: Yes — We plan to share results with our collaborator Dr. Preeti Raghaven, at New York University. Dr. Raghavan created the robot we are using, has IRB approval to use the robot, and is a consultant on this study. Personal health information will not be shared.

Started Nov 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2022, 61 months after the start.
Of 902 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cerebral Palsy, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31. This study's planned 61 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 921 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31.
