Goble, Daniel J.; Hurvitz, Edward A.; Brown, Susan H. – International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 2009
Compared with motor impairment in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP), less attention has been paid to sensory feedback processing deficits. This includes, especially, proprioceptive information regarding arm position. This study examined the ability of children with hemiplegic CP to use proprioceptive feedback during a goal-directed…
