Effects of live and video form action observation training on upper limb function in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of live and video form action observation training (AOT) on upper limb (UL) movement acceleration and function in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

METHODS: In total, 12 children (7 boys, 5 girls) with CP participated in this study. The children were allocated randomly to live (experimental) and video (control) AOT groups. All children completed 20 treatment sessions, each 30 minutes in duration, 5 days per week for a month. Mediolateral (ML) and vertical (VT) acceleration data, Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function (JTHF) scores, and Box and Block Test (BBT) scores were obtained at baseline and at 4 weeks after the intervention.

RESULTS: ML and VT movement acceleration and JTHF scores were significantly lower in the live group (p< 0.05). The BBT score was significantly higher in the live than in the video group (p< 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that live AOT is more effective than video AOT for improving UL movement acceleration and function. Clinically, our findings offer important insights for clinicians when planning AOT interventions to reduce UL movement acceleration and improve UL function.
