Brief Summary

The aim of the present study is to compare the effects of Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT)-based upper limb rehabilitation and video-game based therapy (VGBT) with Nintendo® Wii and LMC games on upper extremity functions in patients with Cerebral Palsy (CP).

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy; Rehabilitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Minnesota Hand Dexterity Test

  Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test (MMDT): is a short version of the Minnesota Dexterity Tests and consists of two timed sub-tests ("placing" and "turning tests") to assess the required manual dexterity to turn and/or place 60 short, round blocks with one or both hands . In this study, the placing sub-test will be used to assess the ability to handle objects, measured by the time required to complete the task.

  Change from baseline to 8 weeks, follow up at two months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Modified Ashworth Scale

  Change from baseline to 8 weeks, follow up at two months

• Hand and pinch grips

  Change from baseline to 8 weeks, follow up at two months

Study Arms (2)

VGBT with Nintendo® Wii and LMC games

EXPERIMENTAL

VGBT with Nintendo® Wii and LMC games: In order to improve the elbow and shoulder functions, Tennis and boxing, the games of Nintendo Wii® Fit WiiSports package that includes shoulder and elbow movements will be used for VGBT with Nintendo® Wii and Leap Motion Controller (LMC) games. In both of the games, the activities are carried out by providing feedback in the context of remote control and sound and vibration notifications.

Device: VGBT with Nintendo® Wii and LMC games

NDT-based upper limb rehabilitation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

NDT-based upper limb rehabilitation: NDT-based upper limb rehabilitation aims to facilitate normal movement for upper extremity activities such as getting dressed and eating etc by using real materials (clothes, spoons, pencils, buttons, rope, etc.). The target activities were practised with the materials such as velcro cylinders, skill cubes, exercise bands, screw sets, therapeutic putty, and tripled coordination tools.

Behavioral: NDT-based upper limb rehabilitation

Interventions

VGBT with Nintendo® Wii and LMC games DEVICE

Nintendo Wii and LMC games will be used for upper limb rehabilitation in Cerebral Palsy. The games are tennis and boxing for Nintendo Wii, Leapball and CatchApet for LMC.
