Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy (HABIT) in Children with Hemiplegia is a new intervention developed at Columbia University. HABIT aims to improve the use and coordination of both arms in daily function. It involves intensive bimanual training. Like CI therapy, it requires 90 hours of intensive therapy and it is performed in group settings with an emphasis of having fun. But unlike CI therapy HABIT focuses on improving the ability to perform bimanual activities. The efficacy of this new bimanual treatment for improving coordination with two hands is being tested.
