A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The FBRI VTC Neuromotor Research Clinic offers intensive therapeutic services for children with motor impairments due to neuromotor disorders. Utilizing ACQUIREc Therapy, a specialized form of constraint-induced movement therapy, the clinic focuses on enhancing motor skills in children with asymmetric abilities. This approach involves constraining the less impaired limb while providing targeted therapy to the more impaired limb, delivered by trained occupational or physical therapists. The therapy sessions are significantly longer than traditional therapy, aiming to maximize functional improvements.
