Brief Summary

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) manifest several developmental disorders of movement and posture. CP children have functional limitations so this study investigates the additional effects of kinesio taping and neuromuscular electrical stimulation on hands joint range of motion, muscle tone and functional ability in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Jebsen Hand Function Test

  The Jebsen Hand Function Test (JHFT/JTT) was developed to provide a standardized and objective evaluation of fine and gross motor hand function using simulated activities of daily living. It consists of seven subsets which are writing, simulated page-turning, lifting small objects, simulated feeding, stacking, and lifting large, lightweight, and heavy objects.Total score is the sum of time taken for each sub-test, which are rounded to the nearest second. Shorter times indicate better performance.Change from Baseline hand functions to 4th Week

  4 weeks

• Minnesota Hand Skill Test

  The Minnesota Manual Dexterity test (MMDT) tool was developed to measure unilateral and bilateral gross and fine manual dexterity.his involved a series of displacement and turning of plastic or wooden cylinders to be placed in a series of matched holes. A log is maintained of the time taken for these steps.Change from Baseline manual ability and hand dexterity to 4 Week

  4 Week

• Goniometer

  Goniometer is used to measure range of motion of joints, following joints will be assessed shoulder, elbow, wrist. Change from Baseline manual ability and hand dexterity to 4 Week

  4Week

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Manual Ability Classification System

  4Weeks

• Gross Motor Function Classification System

  4Weeks
