Brief Summary

this study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of dual task virtual reality training on hand function (bilateral hand use and upper limb coordination), attention (divided and sustained) and activity of daily life in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Conditions

Hemiplegia

Keywords

Dual Task Virtual Reality Training; Hand Function; Attention and Activity of Daily Life; Hemiplegia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• bilateral hand use

  The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2) will be used to assess bilateral hand use. It is a standardized norm-referenced measure for evaluating fine and gross motor skills in children and adolescents aged 4 to 21. It includes 8 subtests with 4 motor areas: fine manual control, manual coordination, body coordination, and strength and agility. The child's performance will be recorded and scored on each item, then later, each item will be converted from raw score to point score and from point score to scale score and at the end, from scale score to standard score

  up to three months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• attention

  up to three months

• life disability

  up to three months

Study Arms (2)

Dual Task Virtual Reality Training

EXPERIMENTAL

twenty hemiplegic child will receive Dual Task Virtual Reality Training plus traditional physical therapy three time per week for 3 months

Other: Dual Task Virtual Reality Training; Other: traditional physical therapy

traditional physical therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

twenty hemiplegic child will receive traditional physical therapy three time per week for 3 months

Other: traditional physical therapy

Interventions

Dual Task Virtual Reality Training OTHER

Children in this group will receive 45\_60 minutes of dual task VR training. each session will consist of: Games will be in the form of a series of kinect adventure game,big league game, forza horizon, sports island freedom and Kinect sports game designed for Xbox 360 Kinect console which targeting bilateral hand use and attention. The games will be projected onto a 24-Inch screen monitor. Each session consisted of playing 1-2 trials in a row of each of 5 game.Time of each game will be 5-10 minutes. plus tradional therapy

Dual Task Virtual Reality Training

traditional physical therapy OTHER

Children in this group will receive designed occupational therapy training for 45-60 minutes. each session will consist of:Ball activities: catching and throwing ball (large balls for 2 hand use) while following rules as pick only red balls,Transfer cubes from one hand to the other hand and counting out load while transferring, Clapping with both hands while increaseing speed, Opening and closing a jar while focusing on steps,Towering cubes while focusing to put large then small cubes, Turning cards and react only when target card appears,Transfer cubes from one colored container to another,Pick objects from a toy bag and to range them according to their colors, shapes (triangles, rectangle, circular), and size (small, medium, big) and naming each object with their color and shape.
