Structural brain lesions and action observation therapy outcomes in unilateral cerebral palsy: an exploratory study
Giuseppina Sgandurra
IntroductionUnilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) results from early brain injury, leading to motor impairments primarily affecting one upper limb. Action Observation Therapy (AOT), which engages the mirror neuron system to enhance motor function, represents a promising rehabilitative approach. However, its efficacy in UCP has been inconsistent across studies, possibly due to methodological differences or individual variability in brain damage. This observational longitudinal study within an intervent
