Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Selective voluntary motor control of upper extremity [6 weeks]

    Test of Arm Selective Control will be used to assess selective voluntary motor control of upper extremityIt was developed to quantify the extent to which children with cerebral palsy have selective voluntary motor control. It will be used to assess movement of shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, finger and thumb by using simple tools for grasp items from two starting sitting positions

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Hand grip strength [6 weeks]

    it will be assessed by hand held dynamometer

  2. - Upper limb function [6 weeks]

    it will be assessed by Bruinink-Oseretsky test for motor proficiency subset 7 of upper limb coordination
