Each child has a specific brain lesion and the clinical pattern is highly variable. Current clinical methods of assessment do not fully evaluate the kinematic activity during simple activities of daily life. We defined an upper limb three-dimensional kinematic protocol in order to complete the clinical analysis of such patients and reproducibility tests are in progress. Data were presented for one of the patients studied and showed some important differences between the clinical analysis and the kinematic one. A three-dimensional upper limb motion analysis gives a more complete kinematic evaluation and should help better measure the results of treatments.
