Abstract
This exploratory study evaluates the effectiveness of a new cognitive rehabilitation program (BReT) developed to treat action and non-action oriented body representations deficits in children with cerebral palsy. An improvement of the non-action-oriented body representation was observed after treatment, suggesting that BReT represents a novel and promising training program.
