Wearable sensors for measuring spontaneous upper limb use in children with unilateral cerebral palsy and typical development by Elena Beani, Mattia Franchi de ’Cavalieri, Silvia Filogna, Veronica Barzacchi, Matteo Cianchetti, Martina Maselli, Giada Martini, Valentina Menici, Giuseppe Prencipe, Elisa Sicola, Giovanni Cioni, Giuseppina Sgandurra

“…Abstract Background Unilateral Cerebral Palsy (UCP) is a clinical condition which mainly involves the movement and muscle tone of one side of the body, often impacting the general manual function. While there are some clinical assessment tools aimed to quantify the Upper Limbs (UpLs) use and the manual abilities, acquiring information regarding the motor abilities outside the clinical environment, such as the UpLs use and their asymmetry during daily life, could provide a more complete evaluation of the child and open a new clinical reasoning. …”
