Résumé
Activities of daily living frequently require children to make rapid decisions and execute desired motor actions while inhibiting unwanted actions. Children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy due to perinatal stroke may have deficits in executive functioning in addition to motor impairments. The objective of this study was to use a robotic object hit and avoid task to assess the ability of children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy to make rapid motor decisions. Forty-five children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy due to perinatal stroke and 146 typically developing children (both groups ages 6-19 years) completed a robotic object hit and avoid task using the Kinarm Exoskeleton. Objects of different shapes fell from the top of the screen with increasing speed and frequency. Children were instructed to hit two specific target shapes with either hand, while avoiding six distractor shapes. The number of targets and distractors hit were compared between children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy and typically developing children, accounting for age effects. We also compared performance to a simpler object hit task where there were no distractors. We found that children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy hit a greater proportion of total distractors compared to typically developing children, demonstrating impairments in inhibitory control. Performance for all children improved with age. Children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy hit a greater percentage of targets with each arm on the more complex object hit and avoid task compared to the simpler object hit task, which was not found in typically developing children. Children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy due to perinatal stroke demonstrated impairments in rapid motor decision making including inhibitory control, which can impede their ability to perform real-world tasks. Therapies that address both motor performance and executive functions are necessary to maximize function in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.

BACKGROUND
Activities of daily living frequently require children to make rapid decisions and execute desired motor actions while inhibiting unwanted actions. Children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy due to perinatal stroke may have deficits in executive functioning in addition to motor impairments. The objective of this study was to use a robotic object hit and avoid task to assess the ability of children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy to make rapid motor decisions.
METHODS
Forty-five children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy due to perinatal stroke and 146 typically developing children (both groups ages 6-19 years) completed a robotic object hit and avoid task using the Kinarm Exoskeleton. Objects of different shapes fell from the top of the screen with increasing speed and frequency. Children were instructed to hit two specific target shapes with either hand, while avoiding six distractor shapes. The number of targets and distractors hit were compared between children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy and typically developing children, accounting for age effects. We also compared performance to a simpler object hit task where there were no distractors.
RESULTS
We found that children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy hit a greater proportion of total distractors compared to typically developing children, demonstrating impairments in inhibitory control. Performance for all children improved with age. Children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy hit a greater percentage of targets with each arm on the more complex object hit and avoid task compared to the simpler object hit task, which was not found in typically developing children.
CONCLUSIONS
Children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy due to perinatal stroke demonstrated impairments in rapid motor decision making including inhibitory control, which can impede their ability to perform real-world tasks. Therapies that address both motor performance and executive functions are necessary to maximize function in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.
