Excited to share our new publication: "Retention of Bimanual Performance Following Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy." We found that HABIT improves real-world bimanual performance, but the effects begin to decline 3 months post-therapy

Missed the AACPDM 2023 but .@ShaileshGardas and .@McbrydeNatalie , great job presenting the findings of our recent work on ischemic conditioning as a priming agent, wearables, and perception of hand use in children with CP at the AACPDM, Chicago.
