ClinConnect Summary

The FBRI VTC Neuromotor Research Clinic is conducting a clinical trial to help children with conditions that affect their movement, such as cerebral palsy, autism, and brain injuries. The clinic uses an innovative approach called ACQUIREc Therapy, which focuses on assisting children who have difficulty using one side of their body more than the other. This therapy involves providing intense, play-based sessions that can last up to six hours a day, five days a week, for several weeks. The goal is to help children gain new motor skills by actively working on their weaker limbs in a fun and engaging way.

To participate in this trial, children must have some form of neuromotor impairment but should be in stable health. The research is currently open to all eligible children, regardless of age or gender. Families can expect a supportive environment where their child will receive specialized care aimed at improving their abilities. It's important to note that participation in the study is completely voluntary, and children will still receive therapy even if their families choose not to join the research.
