This is a comparative study where two protocols of intensive therapies will be applied to study the improvements in the functional performance of the affected upper limb of children with hemiparesis and check whether to increase their quality of life.
the intervention protocols combine different doses of intensive therapy, being 80 hours of modified constraint induced movement therapy followed by 20 hours for protocol 1 and protocol 2 would be the application of protocol 1 inverted, with this, the investigators want to compare how both protocols interfere in the function of the affected upper limb of children with different levels of bimanual functional performance.
