Researcher involved: Catherine Mercier;
Children and teens living with cerebral palsy often have difficulty using their arms or legs. This can influence the performance of activities requiring physical effort and therefore have a direct impact on their daily lives.
The main objectives of this study are: 1) to assess the links between potential visual problems and arm function; 2) to assess the impact of potential visual problems on participation in leisure activities requiring physical effort or not.
