Alwhaibi et al. [58]Investigated eye-hand coordination in children with CP between the ages of five and eight years old before and after receiving varied interventions45 children between the ages of five to eight years old with spastic hemiplegia were randomized into three groupsAugmented biofeedback with traditional physical therapy intervention significantly improved VMI when compared to children that only received one intervention
