Abstract :
Based on recent insights regarding bimanual rhythmic coordination, a set computer games were developed to help children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) to loosen the coupling between their hands. The games were tested in a small sample, to determine its influences on hand function and bimanual coordination.
