These limitations may be due to deficits in motor planning and execution. Previous investigations suggest that running a camp that uses VR software based on hand-arm bimanual Intensive Training (HABIT) improves motor planning and execution deficits in children with CP. The purpose of this study is to 1) develop a VR-augmented BrainComputer Interface Neurofeedback (BCI-NFT) for upper extremity motor rehabilitation of children with CP that can reliably deliver cortically linked neurofeedback to their forearm muscles and 2) compare the impact of BCI HABIT-VR and HABIT-VR on cortical activity and upper limb function in children with CP. Children who are 6-17 years old will be eligible for this study. Before starting the study, upper extremity motor function will be assessed with a set of clinical tests. Children with motor planning and execution deficits will receive 40 hours of either HABIT-VR or standard BCI-HABIT-VR (4 hours per day, 5 days\u002Fweek, for two consecutive weeks), during which performance of the tasks and their movements will be tracked through 3-D motion tracking of the VR system. Two assessment sessions, before and after each camp, will be conducted to examine the outcome. The functional outcomes include Assistive Hand Assessment (AHA) to measure upper limb function, Box and Block Tests (BBT) to measure upper limb dexterity, and EEG recordings to measure changes in the cortical activity.",[31,35],{"label":32,"type":33,"description":34,"interventionNames":22},"Control Group","NO_INTERVENTION","There is no intervention for this group.
