The HABIT-ILE (Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities) program is an intensive rehabilitation therapy designed to improve motor functions and promote functional independence. Participants in this arm will engage in 6.5 hours of structured activities per day for two weeks (10 days). The therapy focuses on bimanual coordination combined with constant stimulation of the trunk and/or lower extremities, using task-oriented exercises tailored to individual goals. Each participant will be supported by one or two therapists and supervised by a trained team to ensure the program is delivered effectively and safely. The therapy emphasizes engaging, play-based activities to maximize motivation and active participation.

Participants in the control group will continue their usual care, which includes conventional physical and occupational therapy, for a duration of two weeks. They will follow their regular therapy schedules without any changes to their routines or treatment habits. This approach ensures that the control group reflects standard rehabilitation practices, allowing for a direct comparison with the intervention group.
