13 Cerebral palsy (CP) Cerebral palsy (CP) describes a group of disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. Bax M, Rosembaun P, Leviton A, Golgstein M, Paneth N & Damiano D. Proposed definition and classification of cerebral palsy, April Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology 2005, 47:

16 Support Hand trajectories became smoother and less variable with age. Immature patterns of reaching were characterised by increased variability in younger compared to older children. Only children between 8 and 10 years old had variability similar to adults. Schneiberg S, Sveistrup H, McFadyen B, McKinley P, Levin MF. The development of coordination for reachto-grasp movements in children. Exp Brain Res Sep; 146(2):

17 Support Clinical assessment does not provide objective and quantitative evaluation of the upper limb function. Based on instrumental gait analysis a upper limb protocol for three-dimensional motion analysis has been developed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of instrumental upper extremity motion.

18 Support 3-D kinematics detected deficits in timing, ROM, and proximal compensatory strategies during upper-limb functional task performance in children with hemiplegia. Mackey AH, Walt SE, Stott NS. Deficits in upper-limb task performance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy as defined by 3-dimensional kinematics. Arch Phys Med Rehabil Feb; 87(2):

19 Inclusion criteria: Ambulatory children with adiagnosis of spastic quadriplegic or hemiplegic CP aged between 6 and 18years.

20 Exclusion criteria included: Previous upper limb surgery or botulinum toxin injections within the last six months Any disabilities that would make it difficult for the child to understand the study or cooperate fully.

21 Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) Palisano et al. (1997) and Wood and Rosenbaum (2000) have both reported good to excellent interrater reliability for severity of gross motor function limitations in children with CP using the GMFCS.

22 Modified Tardieu Scale The modified Tardieu scale was used in upper limbs to assess the spasticity over biceps and triceps muscles.
