OBJECTIVE: Few studies focus on upper limbs in bilateral cerebral palsy (CP) despite potential bimanual deficits. Electroencephalography (EEG) was utilized to investigate brain mechanisms underlying upper limb tasks in bilateral CP and typical development (TD) and relationships to function.
METHODS: 26 (14 CP; 12 TD) completed the Box and Blocks Test and transport task with paper, sponge or mixed blocks, while recording EEG and motion data.
RESULTS: Group effects for path time, path length and Box and Blocks Test revealed bimanual deficits. Four sensorimotor-related EEG clusters were identified. Group effects were found in premotor and dominant motor clusters with greater beta event-related desynchronization (ERD) in CP. Hand and hand by group effects were found in the dominant motor cluster, showing greater ERD with the more affected hand in CP. Condition effects were prominent in the posterior parietal cluster with higher ERD reflecting greater difficulty in force modulation.
CONCLUSIONS: Higher brain activation associated with greater bimanual deficits is similar to our lower limb findings but contrasts studies in TD or unilateral CP linking higher ERD to greater proficiency.
SIGNIFICANCE: Bilateral CP shows overreliance on the dominant hemisphere with the less functional hand and higher brain activity presumably related to excessive intracortical connectivity.
