Official Title: Action-Observation Therapy (AOT) and Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) for Home Rehabilitation of Hemiplegia
Brief Summary: A new rehabilitative approach, called AOT, based on the recent discovery of mirror neuron system (MNS), has been used with promising results on the Upper Limb (UL) function in some studies in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP).The purpose of the present trial is to provide evidence by a RCT that AOT is an effective rehabilitation tool in Children with Unilateral CP (UCP) and that its effects are greater than standard care. Assisting Hand Assessment is chosen as primary outcome measure and a sample size of 10 per group is required. The rehabilitation lasting 3 weeks will be provided at home by an ICT platform able to deliver, manage, monitor and measure a personalized AOT.
