Brief Summary

Background: Impaired upper extremity is the major disability facing the children with hemiplegia as the inability to use hands for reach; grasp and manipulation affect their daily life activities. little attention has been given to gain perspective about abnormal movements that are detectable in hemiplegic cerebral palsy that are related to one's level of core stability and how they affect their hand functions.

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy
