Sponsor's own description
Hemiplegia occurs when the function of motor areas in the brain become impaired, predominantly unilaterally, during perinatal development. Children with hemiplegia show impairments in motor control of the affected side of the body. Impairments in use of the upper extremity are common, and lead to functional disability throughout the lifespan of a person with hemiplegia. Upper extremity impairments can severely affect a person's ability to carry out activities of daily living. The goal of this study at Blythedale Children's Hospital is to test the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and robotic upper extremity therapy in improving upper extremity function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. This study will test the hypothesis that physical rehabilitation, provided by repetitive arm movements guided by a robot, will improve upper extremity function in children with hemiplegia, and that this improvement can be enhanced by transcranial direct current stimulation of motor cortex immediately before robotic training.
