Study Details

Study Description

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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)
  • Other: Mirror Therapy (MT)
 N/A

Detailed Description

Although quite number of research has been done on effects of CIMT and mirror therapy but most of the studies included stroke population. There was no literature on comparative effect of both CIMT and Mirror therapy in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. This study will be covering specifically cerebral palsy children to have better treatment techniques to be introduced in therapeutic programs of hemiplegic cerebral palsy children.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Treatment Group

Constraint Induced Movement Therapy

Other: Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)
I will apply CIMT on effected hand to observe the hand dexterity and grip strength
Other Names:
  • CIMT

    		•
    Experimental: Control Group

    Mirror Therapy

    Other: Mirror Therapy (MT)
    I will apply Mirror Therapy on effected hand to obeserve the hand dexterity and grip strength

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. 9 Hole pegboard test: [3 months]

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

    2. Haptic (Tactile) Recognition Test: [3 months]

      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. Hand Dynamometer: [3 months]

      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
