Brief Summary
This study design will be randomized controlled trial. Subjects will be selected for data collection from the Physiotherapy Department, Institute of Pediatric and Rehabilitation of The University of Lahore Teaching Hospital and Central Park Teaching Hospital, Lahore. Subjects will be randomly allocated into two equal groups, conventional group (group A) and an experimental group (group B). Conventional group will be receiving routine physical therapy and Experimental group will be receiving Computer application-based training and routine physical therapy. Pre and post intervention data will be taken from Gross Motor Function Classification System, Manual Ability Classification System, Mini-Mental State Examination for Children and Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test for data analysis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Mini-Mental State Examination for Children (MMC)
Mini-Mental State Examination for Children (MMC) is an adapted version of the Mini-Mental State Examination. The Mini-Mental Examination for Children(MMC) is a widely used tool for assessing global cognitive deficits with a maximum score of 37.
8 weeks
Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST)
Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) is a reliable measure of gross motor upper limb functions in children with CP. This measure assesses mainly four domains: dissociated movement, grasp, protective extension, and weight bearing.

Study Arms (2)
Computer Application (ICOGNI) Training
EXPERIMENTALApart from routine physical therapy, participants in this group will be randomized to active training after baseline assessment. Participants will be given App-based training which will include multiple games with multiple levels along with routine physiotherapy. The active group will start training immediately and will have 8 weeks to perform the 40 training sessions.
Conventional group
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants in are already being given routine physiotherapy which includes range of motion exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises of upper extremity, fine motor activities, functional activities, and cognitive activities (art and crafts, placing objects in specific positions, organizing objects, color sorting games, teamwork, and moving and tracing objects).
Interventions
Participants will be given App-based training under supervision for 40 sessions, which will include multiple games with multiple levels along with routine physiotherapy.
