The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a trunk and upper extremities exercise program. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Whether the program decreases compensation patterns in unilateral cerebral palsy children Whether the program decreases pain in unilateral cerebral palsy children Whether the program improves bimanual ability in unilateral cerebral palsy children Participants will undertake and 8-week program exercise at home If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare with the control group to see if this program decreases compensation patterns.
Unilateral cerebral palsy diagnostic
Level I or II of the Manual Ability Scale Classification
Have received any intervention with botulinum toxin or shock waves in the previous six months or have them scheduled during the intervention
Are undergoing treatment with intensive therapies.
To have known alteration in the hips
Have very serious attention or comprehension difficulties that prevent them from following instructions.
Parallel
TUPEX
Other interventionThis program contains exercises with their own body weight or with Thera-bands for gaining strength in their shoulder and trunk muscles. It contains some progression exercise if needed. Each session can last between 20 and 30 minutes. Children have to do each session three times a week during 8 weeks.
Rate of variance of the Compensation patterns
DeepLabCut (DLC) (Artificial Intelligence). Calculate the kinematic difference of the body marks during the activities
Intensity of pain
Face Pain Scale - Revised (FPS-R). The face marked is compared before and after the treatment. 0 is the minimum scores, meaning no pain, and 10 is the maximum score, meaning really severe pain.
Location of pain
In the Body Diagram. The location of the pain is compared before and after the treatment
Bimanual ability
Children Hand-Use Experience Questionaire 2.0 (CHEQ 2.0). Whether they are more capable of doing more bimanual activities or not. The maximum score in each question is 100 and the minimum is 0. 100 means children use their hands like the neurotypical children, and 0 means they can't use the affected hand at all.
