Arm More + Camp: An Implementation Study

Our primary aim is to evaluate the implementation cost of a full day modified constraint induced movement therapy camp for children with hemiparesis.

Participants will complete a day camp (9am to 4pm) with constraint induced movement therapy in Week 1 and bimanual therapy in Week 2.
