Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to find Effects of constraints induced movement therapy (CIMT) versus mirror therapy (MT) on hand dexterity and grip strength in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy; Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

Keywords

cerebral palsy; constraints induced movement therapy; mirror therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• 9 Hole pegboard test:

  The 9 hole peg test is a standardized quantitative assessment used to measure finger dexterity in patients with various neurological diagnosis.

  3 months

• Haptic (Tactile) Recognition Test:

  it's a quantitative measure of haptic (tactile) object recognition design to test one's ability to recognize everyday objects across seven sensory attributes using 14 sets of objects. Haptic recognition of everyday objects is quite fast and highly accurate with 96% correctly named: 68% in less than 3 s and 94% within 5 sec.

  3 months

• Hand Dynamometer:

  Hand Dynamometer: Hand dynamometer is an evaluation tool that is used to measure isometric grip force. . Once the grip position is adjusted, the user holds the handle and squeezes the handle
