Study arms

• Active comparator
  control group

  high/low dosage intervention, intensive or not (motor function rehabilitation)

  Behavioral: Hand Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities · Behavioral: Conventional physical and occupational therapy

• Experimental
  interface group

  high/low dosage intensive intervention using the interactive interface (motor function rehabilitation)

  Behavioral: Hand Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities

Interventions

• BehavioralHand Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities

  Intensive intervention focusing on a constant bimanual coordination with a lower extremities and trunk control stimulation during play and functional activities. 50% of therapeutic time will be performed using the new interactive interface

• BehavioralConventional physical and occupational therapy

  Conventional therapy (physical and occupational therapy) is mainly based on neurodevelopmental therapeutic principles. 50% of therapeutic time will be performed using the new interactive interface

Primary outcomes

1. Change from baseline Assisting Hand Assessments score at 1 week post-camp

   The Assisting Hand Assessment has been developped to measure and describe the efficacy of use of the affected hand of children with unilateral cerebral palsy bimanual activity performance. This is a standardized criterion-referenced test. It is conducted as a recorded semi-structured play session using specific objects usually used in a bimanual manner. With twenty-two test items, the child's performance is measured and obtain a sum score measure and a scaled score (percent scale).

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up

2. Change from baseline 6 Minutes Walking Test score at 1 week post-camp

   Measurement developped to assess the exercise tolerance and walking abilities by asking the patient to walk as much as possible during 6 minutes in a 30 meters long corridor

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up

Secondary outcomes

1. Change from baseline Box and Blocks test score at 1 week post-camp

   Test measuring hand function through the number of blocks transported in 1 minute from one part an other of a box placed in front of the child. Each hand tested separately

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up

2. Change from baseline Jebsen-Taylor Test of Hand Function score at 1 week post-camp

   Measure of hand function/dexterity, through 7 activities simulating daily life activities. Each hand is tested separately and time to complete each activity is reported using a stopwatch.

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up

3. Change from baseline Modified Cooper test at 1 week post-camp

   Measurement of the stereognosis abilities.16 objects are placed in the hand and the child has to recognise the object only by touch. both hands are tested separately and time to recognise the objects is reported using a stopwatch

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up

4. Change from baseline ABILHAND-Kids questionnaire score at 1 week post-camp

   questionnaire measuring performance of the child in daily life activities focusing on the upper extremities.

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up

5. Change from baseline ACTIVLIM-CP questionnaire score at 1 week post-camp

   questionnaire measuring performance of the child in daily life activities focusing on upper and lower extremities.

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up

6. Change from baseline ABILOCO-Kids questionnaire at 1 week post-camp

   questionnaire measuring performance of the child in daily life activities focusing on the lower extremities.

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up

7. Change from baseline Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory score at 1 week post-camp

   questionnaire measuring performance of the child in daily life activities focusing on the upper extremities and lower extremities. Only the self-care domain will be assessed here

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up

8. Change from baseline Canadian Occupational Performance Measure scores at 1 week post-camp

   The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure is a measure designed to capture the patient's self-perception of performance in everyday living, over time. It consist of a semi-structured interview were the patient elicits daily life activities performed with difficulties (self-care, nutrition, transfer, household management, school, work, transport, leisure, etc). Five activities are then chosen as the most important to improve and score on a 1 to 10 scale based on the actual patient's performance and satisfaction levels.

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up

9. Change from baseline MHAVIE-child questionnaire score at 1 week post-camp

   Questionnaire measuring social participation

   Time frame: pre-camp (1 week before), post-camp (1 week after), 3 months follow-up
