The pre- and post-operative 8mm cine-films and video films taken of seven hemiplegic children were reviewed. All seven have received regular and intensive physiotherapy but required surgery to obtain a good supportive functional hand. Video recordings provided a very useful method of assessing the outcome of hand surgery.
