COMBIT: Randomised Controlled Trial of Novel Upper Neurorehabilitation for Congenital Hemiplegia

脑瘫是儿童中最常见的残疾——在工业化国家有超过一百万的儿童患有这种偏瘫形式。改善手部使用的康复对日常护理、获得教育和职业愿望的影响，需要耗费大量的时间和金钱。我们的团队希望在一项随机对照试验中测试一项新的联合约束和双手训练研究（COMBIT），研究上肢功能、参与和干预的作用机制。

Cerebral palsy is the most common disability in children - there are over one million children with the hemiplegic form in the industrialised world. Rehabilitation to improve hand use impacts on daily care, access to education and vocational aspirations, and consumes a great deal of time and money. Our team wishes to test a novel COMbined Constraint and BImanual Training study (COMBIT) in a randomized controlled trial investigating upper limb function, participation and mechanisms of action of the intervention.
