Online Therapy For Cerebral Palsy: Project ULTrA

Upper Limb Training for Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy Online

University of Michigan kinesiology department is offering therapy for adults and teenagers with cerebral palsy- online!
Called Project ULTrA (Upper Limb Training and Assessment), the program allows therapy to take place in front of a computer screen using streamed video and works on upper limb strength, flexibility and movement. The software uses virtual trainers AS WELL AS real-life experts at the Motor Control Lab to complete movement-based therapy programs. The program also collects data to determine how well the in-home therapy is working.
