Aim: To determine the feasibility and acceptability of parent-delivered elastic taping to the thumb and wrist in infants with cerebral palsy (CP).Design: Randomized cross-over feasibility trial.Participants: 20 infants (11 male; mean age 22 months) with CP.Intervention: Groups A and B received taping for 4 and 2 weeks, respectively.Outcomes: Primary: Recruitment and retention rates; adherence to protocol; Parent Satisfaction Questionnaire. Secondary: House Thumb score; Zancolli classification; Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA)/mini AHA. Exploratory: Duration of hand regard, thumb in palm, and open hand contact with toys during AHA/mini AHA.Results: Recruitment was feasible (95.2% uptake). Completion rates were 80% and 60% in Groups A and B. Questionnaire feedback was generally positive. Some parents reported increased awareness of the taped hand. Objective improvements were rare though one participant showed consistent improvement in thumb position.Conclusion: Taping proved feasible and acceptable; individual case benefit suggests further research is required.Trial registration: ISRCTN41918400.

父母对患有脑瘫的婴儿进行拇指拍打的可行性试验：简要报告。

目的：确定脑瘫（CP）婴儿父母提供的拇指和腕部弹性贴带的可行性和可接受性设计：随机交叉可行性试验参与者：20名婴儿（11名男性;平均年龄22个月）干预：A组和B组分别接受了4周和2周的录音。结果：主要：招募和保留率；遵守协议；父母满意度调查表。中学：众议院拇指得分；Zancolli分类；辅助手评估（AHA）/迷你AHA。探索性研究：在AHA /迷你AHA期间手部护理，拇指掌心接触和开放接触玩具的持续时间。结果：招募可行（摄取95.2％）。A组和B组的完成率分别为80％和60％。问卷反馈总体上是积极的。一些父母报告说对录音带的手的认识有所提高。尽管一位参与者显示出拇指位置的持续改善，但客观改善很少。个体病例受益提示需要进一步研究。注册号：ISRCTN41918400。
