Applying 80 h of BIT for 8 weeks in children with high bimanual functional performance USCP (6-8 years old), executed at home with family involvement would be sufficient to obtain improvements in affected upper limb-use experience, without the need to use combined protocols of 100 h. However, no statistically significant increase in bimanual functional performance would be obtained, with the basal situation of the child being a factor to consider for the execution of mCIMT and BIT.Registration number and name of trial registry: [ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03465046].
