NCT05596513 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: P.T.REC/012/003981
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 40

Brief Summary

Working on a vertical surface is one of the best activities children can do to make themselves more successful in many areas as an infant which builds all those foundational skills required for the all-important task of handwriting.

Conditions

Hemiplegia; Spastic

Keywords

motor learning; vertical surface; hemiplegia; cerebral palsy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• QUEST

  quality of upper extremity skills test (Only dissociated movement, grasp and weight bearing domains QUEST will be assessed).

  3 month

Study Arms (2)

control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

received intensive motor-learning approaches that focuses on training of the affected hand (motor-learning approaches such as - constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT) provide an alternative).

Other: motor learning and occupational therapy

study group

EXPERIMENTAL

received the intensive motor-learning approaches of the control group but from a vertical surface

Other: Motor Learning Approaches From Working on a Vertical Surface

Interventions
