Bimanual movements in children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review of instrumented assessments.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Assessment of bimanual movements, which are frequently impaired in children with cerebral palsy, is highly challenging in clinical practice. Instrumented measures have been developed to evaluate and help to understand impaired upper limb movement during bimanual tasks in these children. The aim of this review was to report instrumented measurement tools (3D motion analysis, sensors, etc.) used for bimanual task movement analysis, and the metrological properties of the measures in children with cerebral palsy.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted (Prospero CRD42022308517). PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane and Scopus databases were searched with relevant keywords and inclusion/exclusion criteria. Article quality and biomechanical methods were evaluated with a c
