Hand Function in a Population-Based Sample of Young Children with Unilateral or Bilateral Cerebral Palsy.

Compared with young children with unilateral CP, children with bilateral CP showed greater variation in Mini-MACS/MACS levels, and both sub-groups showed large variations in AHA or BoHA units. The classifications and assessments used in this study are useful to differentiate young children's ability levels. Such information is important to tailor upper limb interventions to the specific needs of children with CP.
