Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robots have been proposed as tools to measure bimanual coordination in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP). However, previous research only examined one task and clinical interpretation remains challenging due to the large amount of generated data. This cross-sectional study aims to examine bimanual coordination by using multiple bimanual robotics tasks in children with uCP, and their relation to task execution and unimanual performance.
