Abstract
Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy are affected in their motor function on one side more than the other. Our focus here is on the functions of the hand, specifically examining grasp and manipulation in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. We concentrate on manipulation in functional settings across a range of tasks based on the classification of hand movements by Elliott and Connolly (1984) and a selection of the tasks from Brown et al (1987). The children were filmed performing the tasks, providing both qualitative and quantitative data, from which detailed information on the functional ability of each child was obtained. The value of such assessment procedures for physiotherapists and remediation in general is discussed.
