Introduction: Unilateral cerebral palsy is the most common form of childhood cerebral palsy. It ischaracterized by a unilateral motor deficit, and in particular reduced performance in the upper limb affects the autonomy and quality of life of young patients. Conventional treatment of the upper limb of children with unilateral PCI has been much discussed in recent years. Rehabilitation approaches including intensive bimanual training (HABIT) and constriction training (CIMT) have been developed with the aim of increasing spontaneous use of the impaired upper limb and problem-solving ability in activities of daily living. Purpose: The aim of this study is to verify in the literature the value of both rehabilitation approaches and how to integrate them in the treatment of the upper limb in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. Materials and methods: A literature search was performed in the PubMed, Bibliosan and Trip Medicine Databases using keywords related to the population of interest, the type of intervention and the outcome linked with Boolean operators AND OR. The selection of articles was limited to the last ten years, fifteen articles of different types were obtained that met the set inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The analyzed studies provided evidence on the rehabilitation treatment based on these two approaches CIMT and HABIT, which are able to improve the use of the upper limb both the unimanual functional capacity and the child's finalized bimanual performance. Conclusion: An analysis of the literature did not reveal any significant differences in the effectiveness of the two approaches, however, their integration with conventional treatment is recommended in clinical practice.
Introduzione: La paralisi cerebrale unilaterale è la forma più comune delle paralisi cerebrali infantili in età pediatrica. Caratterizzata da un deficit motorio monolaterale e in particolare la riduzione di performance all’arto superiore condiziona l’autonomia e la qualità di vita dei piccoli pazienti. Il trattamento convenzionale dell’arto superiore del bambino con PCI unilaterale è stato molto discusso negli ultimi anni. Gli approcci riabilitativi tra cui il training intensivo bimanuale (HABIT) e l’allenamento da costrizione (CIMT) sono stati sviluppati nell’ottica di aumentare l’uso spontaneo dell’arto superiore compromesso e la capacità di problem solving nelle attività della vita quotidiana. Scopo: L’obiettivo di questo studio è verificare in letteratura la valenza di entrambi gli approcci riabilitativi e come integrarli nel trattamento dell’arto superiore nel bambino con paralisi cerebrale unilaterale. Materiali e metodi: È stata effettuata una ricerca bibliografica nelle banche dati PubMed, Bibliosan e Trip Medicine Database utilizzando delle parole chiave legate alla popolazione di interesse, il tipo di intervento e l’outcome collegate tra loro con gli operatori booleani AND e OR. La selezione degli articoli è stata limitata agli ultimi dieci anni, sono stati ricavati quindici articoli di diversa tipologia e in grado di soddisfare i criteri di inclusione ed esclusione impostati. Risultati: Gli studi analizzati hanno fornito evidenze sul trattamento riabilitativo basato su questi due approcci CIMT e HABIT, che sono in grado di migliorare l’uso dell’arto superiore sia la capacità funzionale unimanuale, sia le performance bimanuali finalizzate del bambino. Conclusione: Dall’analisi della letteratura non sono emerse differenze significative di efficacia nei due approcci, tuttavia nella pratica clinica è raccomandata la loro integrazione al trattamento convenzionale.
HABIT e CIMT nel trattamento dell'arto superiore del bambino con paralisi cerebrale unilaterale: quali evidenze scientifiche?

Abstract
Introduction: Unilateral cerebral palsy is the most common form of childhood cerebral palsy. It ischaracterized by a unilateral motor deficit, and in particular reduced performance in the upper limb affects the autonomy and quality of life of young patients. Conventional treatment of the upper limb of children with unilateral PCI has been much discussed in recent years. Rehabilitation approaches including intensive bimanual training (HABIT) and constriction training (CIMT) have been developed with the aim of increasing spontaneous use of the impaired upper limb and problem-solving ability in activities of daily living. Purpose: The aim of this study is to verify in the literature the value of both rehabilitation approaches and how to integrate them in the treatment of the upper limb in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. Materials and methods: A literature search was performed in the PubMed, Bibliosan and Trip Medicine Databases using keywords related to the population of interest, the type of intervention and the outcome linked with Boolean operators AND OR. The selection of articles was limited to the last ten years, fifteen articles of different types were obtained that met the set inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The analyzed studies provided evidence on the rehabilitation treatment based on these two approaches CIMT and HABIT, which are able to improve the use of the upper limb both the unimanual functional capacity and the child's finalized bimanual performance. Conclusion: An analysis of the literature did not reveal any significant differences in the effectiveness of the two approaches, however, their integration with conventional treatment is recommended in clinical practice.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
