However, the typical delivery of HABIT-ILE as a 2-week on-site camp can be inaccessible to families living in remote areas or with travel difficulties. Offering HABIT-ILE as a home-based telerehabilitation program could overcome these barriers.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach through 2 randomized controlled trials.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n A total of 44 children with bilateral cerebral palsy (aged 5\u201018 years) will participate. HABIT-ILE@home will follow the principles of HABIT-ILE on-site but will be delivered at home with the involvement of caregivers and remote supervision by trained therapists. A dedicated virtual device will facilitate intervention delivery and remote monitoring (REAtouch Lite). The first randomized controlled trial (RCT), RCT1, will assess the noninferiority of high-dose HABIT-ILE@home vs on-site HABIT-ILE (65 h over 2 weeks, 6.5 h\/d). The second RCT (RCT2) will assess the superiority of a HABIT-ILE@home follow-up program delivered over 9 weeks compared to a nonspecific home follow-up (45 h in total, 5 h\/wk). The Gross Motor Function Measure-66 (GMFM-66) is the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include feasibility and adherence questionnaires, motor and functional outcome measures, as well as activities of daily living questionnaires, self-esteem, participation in life situations, and neuroimaging. Evaluations will be conducted before (T0) and after (T1) the 2 weeks of therapy, followed by a final assessment after the follow-up (T2).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Recruitment was completed in June 2024. All interventions were performed by November 2024. Data analysis was completed in May 2025.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The results will first confirm or refute the noninferior efficacy of a telerehabilitation HABIT-ILE@home program compared to its typical on-site delivery. Second, the results will determine the added value of a specific HABIT-ILE@home follow-up after such high-dosage motor learning\u2013based interventions.<\/jats:p>\n
