Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Importance: Clinical practice guidelines for infants at high risk of cerebral palsy (CP) emphasize the importance of very early and intensive intervention. Objective: To determine the feasibility of a new, home-based, early intensive bimanual stimulation program (BB–Bim) and its impact on hand function in infants at risk of unilateral CP. Design: Single case experimental design, multiple baseline across subjects, lasting from 12 to 15 wk, including a 4- to 7-wk randomized baseline, followed by 8 wk of BB–Bim. Setting: Home. Participants: Infants (ages 3–12 mo) with suspected unilateral CP, whose parents agreed to participate in the stimulation program. Intervention: Parent-provided bimanual stimulation 20 min/day, 6×/wk, with weekly occupational therapist coaching visits. Measures: Weekly repeated measures were the Hand Assessment in Infants (HAI) and Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS). Feasibility and relevance were assessed with a logbook and a parental report, including 10 continuous 0–10 scaled questions. Results: Six infants were included (2 with left and 4 with right brain lesions). Parents provided a mean 3.4 to 6.2 stimulation sessions/wk. Feasibility and relevance were highly rated (Ms 5 8.2–9.6, SDs 5 0.2–1.3). Stimulation significantly improved HAI bimanual and total scores for all infants, with no impact on HAI unilateral scores. GAS scores improved with stimulation (significant for 3 infants). Conclusions and Relevance: BB–Bim was feasible and tended to improve bimanual function in infants at risk of unilateral CP.
