Development of Kinect-assisted Home-based Bilateral Arm Training Program for Cerebral Palsy

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of the present study is to develop a long term cost-effectiveness (efficient protocol, playful context, and practical strategy) training program for school-age children with Cerebral Palsy. Also, evaluate efficacy of Kinect-assisted bilateral arm training program for children with Cerebral Palsy.

* Other: Kinect-based bilateral arm training


Participation Criteria

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
The inclusion criteria of children with CP are: diagnosed with congenital hemiplegic no excessive muscle tone (Modified Ashworth Scale ≤ 3 at any joints of the upper limb) The exclusion criteria of children with CP are: have severe cognitive, visual, or auditory disorders according to medical documents, parental reports, and the examiner's clinical observation have injections of botulinum toxin type A. The inclusion criteria of typically developing children are: absence of medical or developmental diseases which would affect physical and cognitive performances having normal corrected vision studying in regular education classroom in primary school for the 6-12 year-old children. The exclusion criteria of typically developing children are: (1) having score not within normal limits in BOTMP-short form
