Table 1. Description of the study participants.

Table 2. Descriptive participant information: age, number of AHA assessments, monitoring duration, and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) levels for each training group.

Figure 1. Developmental trajectories of hand use in three training groups of children aged 18 months to 12 years old, where intensive training occurred before 7 years of age. The vertical dotted lines represent the group-wise Age-90 values and corresponding 95% CIs. Note that the black (NIT) and red (Baby-CIMT) curves lie very close to each other.

Figure 2. Developmental trajectories of hand use between 18 months and 12 years of age, comparing children classified as MACS level III who had not performed intensive training (NIT) and those who had performed constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT). The vertical dotted lines represent the group-wise Age-90 values and corresponding 95% CIs.

Figure 3. Developmental trajectories of hand use between 18 months and 12 years of age in children who had participated in Baby-CIMT before 18 months (n = 51) and children who had not participated in intensive training before 18 months of age (n = 283). The vertical dotted lines represent the group-wise Age-90 values and corresponding 95% CIs.
