Feasibility of Home-Based Early Infant Hybrid Therapy in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy.

ABSTRACT: Background: The first stage of childhood is characterized by great neuronal plasticity. In Unilateral Cerebral Palsy (UCP), it is essential to carry out early treatment, with family involvement. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of Early Infant Hybrid Therapy (eI-Hybrid) applied at home with family involvement in children with UCP aged 9-18 months, and to assess its preliminary effectiveness on bimanual functional performance. Methods: A single group of 10 children (12.8 months, SD = 3.4) performed the eI-Hybrid therapy. The main outcome was measured with the mini Assisting Hand Assessment scale (mini-AHA), functional goals were measured with the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS), and satisfaction expectations on intensive therapy were also recorded.
