Associate Professor Nicholas O’Dwyer is leading a research team at the University of Sydney in order to help people with cerebral palsy in the future. Members of this team are working on hand coordination, which in turn will have clinical implications for improving hand activity in people with cerebral palsy.
We are looking for Children (over 8years of age) and Adults with CP including hemiplegia, diplegia, quadriplegia, ataxia and athetosis who would like to receive a Testing of both arms (no costs involved). We wish to investigate the full spectrum of cerebral palsy, including people with little or no difficulty with activities of daily living. This process will involve the measurement of bimanual movements, force control and hand activity in both arms. The study is being conducted at Cumberland Campus, University of Sydney, Lidcombe, Sydney. Data collection will take approximately 1 1/2 hours and we will reimburse you for your travel costs with taxi fares (from Metropolitan Sydney) and two cinema passes.
