The BoHA quantified observations of bimanual performance for children with bilateral CP, differentiated between MACS levels I-III and provided clinically meaningful information. The BoHA may facilitate tailoring of upper limb intervention. Future research is recommended to examine inter-rater and intra-rater reliability and responsiveness of the BoHA, as well as longitudinal studies of bimanual hand skill development in children with bilateral CP.
