Brief Summary

children with cerebral palsy have impaired selective motor control and upper limb functions that affect their performance

Conditions

Physical Disability

Keywords

cerebral palsy; selective motor control; upper limb coordination; virtual reality

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Selective voluntary motor control of upper extremity

  Test of Arm Selective Control will be used to assess selective voluntary motor control of upper extremityIt was developed to quantify the extent to which children with cerebral palsy have selective voluntary motor control. It will be used to assess movement of shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, finger and thumb by using simple tools for grasp items from two starting sitting positions

  6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Hand grip strength

  6 weeks

• - Upper limb function
