Upon completion, participants will be able to comment on the feasibility of functional electrical stimulation for the upper limb in young children with unilateral cerebral palsy.
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe how upper limb training intensity can be evaluated with accelerometers.
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe how functional electrical stimulation can be incorporated into upper limb movement training for young children with unilateral cerebral palsy.
