This study gained first insight in important robotic tasks and outcome measures to quantify bimanual coordination deficits in children with uCP. The ball-on-bar task showed the most discriminative ability for both bimanual coupling and interlimb differences, while the object-hit and circuit tasks are unique to interlimb differences and bimanual coupling, respectively.
