This research from the Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology (DMCN) journal, follows a cohort from a large multi-site randomised controlled trial to analyse the progression of impaired hand function, providing insights that could inform early intervention strategies.

Infants with early asymmetric brain lesions are at risk of developing unilateral cerebral palsy, with upper limb function often more affected than gross motor abilities. Hand function plays a crucial role in future independence, yet few studies have investigated its early development.
