Background. Development of motor pathways is modulated by activity in these pathways,
when they are maturing (ie, critical period). Perinatal stroke injures motor pathways …

Background. Clinical trials are suggesting efficacy of intensive therapy combined with brain
stimulation to improve hand function in hemiparetic children with perinatal stroke. However …

Most cases of hemiparetic cerebral palsy are caused by perinatal stroke, resulting in lifelong
disability for millions of people. However, our understanding of how the motor system …

Background: Perinatal stroke causes hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Constraint therapy (CIMT)
improves function in congenital hemiparesis and adult stroke. Repetitive transcranial …

Background Parental participation in their young children's rehabilitation has been promoted
