Funding Status: 
Completed Project
Funding Agency:

Goals

The PIs hypothesize that children with ipsilateral connectivity of the affected hand showed greater improvement in dexterity after HABIT, compared to CIMT. Importantly, they will help determine whether children with ipsilateral CS projections would best benefit from bimanual therapy vs. CIMT.
