Fig 1 Study design. Phase B: baseline with conventional special education (SE) including individual physical therapy [PT] (1h/wk) and occupational therapy [OT] (1h/wk). Phase A: conductive education; three, 4-week blocks and two, 3-month PT, 1h/wk; OT, 1h/wk and conductive education home tasks. Participants: 3- to 6-year-old children with CP (N=64).

Fig 2 (A) The kinetic analysis system consisting of a 200g object that contains a uniaxial force transducer, 3 accelerometers, a precision scale, and a small cylindrical 20g grip object (tasks: moving an object up and down, lifting an object, fastest isometric force changes). (B) A drawing analysis system containing a pressure-sensitive pen and a digitizer tablet (tasks: drawing lines and circles). (C) A 3-dimensional (SD) ultrasound-based movement analysis system (task: aiming).
