The relationship between manual ability, dystonia and choreoathetosis severity and upper limb movement patterns during reaching and grasping in children and young adults with dyskinetic cerebral palsy

CONCLUSION: Current novel analysis of upper limb movement patterns and respective timings allows to detect joint angles and periods in the movement cycle wherein associations with clinical parameters occur. These associations are not present at each joint level, nor during the full movement cycle. This knowledge should be considered for individualized treatment strategies.PMID:38614013 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejpn.2024.04.001
