EXPERIMENTALOther: Infant BIT Not use of unaffected hand containment. Both hand are use to improve the bimanual coordination Other: Infant CIMT/BIT Use unaffected hand containment in part of the intervention and then, both hands in bimanual activities without containment. Other: Conventional therapy Following the usual therapy in the baby.
