Wereables for Upper Limb Functionality in Hemiparesis
Sponsor: Universidade da Coruña
Summary
The project is configured as a national interventional study that aims to determine the effectiveness of an intervention strategy using wearable technology, tailored to improve function (WeFun-wearable), on the spontaneous use of the affected upper extremity, activities of daily living and the participation in children with unilateral cerebral palsy.
Official title: Innovative Use of Wereable Technology for Improving Functionality in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy

Interventions
WeFun-wearable activated
1 month daily routine program with weekly visits in natural environments (home, community, etc) together with WeFun-weareable to increase spontaneous use of the upper limb in children with UCP during activities of daily life and leisure. Activities are priorized by Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and Goal Atteinment Scale. Programs are designed together with a transdisciplinary team, acting as consultants. Children in the experimental group will have the wearable's experimental movement functions activated.
WeFun-wearable desactivated
1 month daily routine program with weekly visits in natural environments (home, community, etc) together with WeFun-weareable to increase spontaneous use of the upper limb in children with UCP during activities of daily life and leisure. Activities are priorized by Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and Goal Atteinment Scale. Programs are designed together with a transdisciplinary team, acting as consultants. Children in the control group will not have experimental functions in their wearables.
