A collaborative effort between doctorate occupational therapy students and industrial design students has resulted in the development of an inclusive assistive device. Designed to facilitate participation for individuals diagnosed with cerebral palsy, this innovation empowers them to actively engage in exercise activities alongside their peers.
Spastic hemiplegia, a form of cerebral palsy (CP), mainly affects one side of the body, usually the arm more than the leg. Common arm posturing includes increased shoulder and elbow flexion, wrist flexion, forearm pronation, and abnormal hand positions like thumb adduction and limited wrist extension.
