Cerebral Palsy, Congenital Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Constrained Induced Movement Therapy and Bimanual Intensive Movement Therapy on Functional Outcome of Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of constraint induced movement therapy CIMT and BIM bimanual activities on functional outcome in hemiplegic CP. Two randomized groups of patients with CP are treated with constrained arm for three hours on affected side and bimanual activities on BIM group respectively. Both, male and female patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be included. Patients having concurrent malignancy, infection, trauma or any bony deformity will be excluded.
It is a Randomized control trial. Cerebral palsy children of age groups of 5 yrs to 12 years were included in the study with total sample size of thirty eight (38) with confidence interval of 95%. Simple random sampling was done by lottery method and data was collected from ALFARABI special school of education Islamabad. Two groups were formed and named as group A; CIMT with nineteen participants and group B, BIM bimanual training with nineteen participants respectively. The RCT compared the functional outcome of 3 hours constraining for 3 times a week for 6 weeks duration for CIMT group and five bimanual activities performed for three hours a day for bimanual group B and were assessed on the pretest and post test score evaluation of QUEST and JTHF test. All the participants were hemiplegic cp from both gender, fall on MAC system level II. Treatment for three hours was done on alternate days for 3 days a week. Five bimanual activites of holding a tray, cutting a fruit with knife, buttoning, cutting paper with scissor, and carry heavy objects with both hands are applied. Whereas the activities performed in CIMT are brushing teeth, holding spoon, fork combing hair and writing. Forty five children were screened before the evaluation and as a result 38 were enrolled in both groups having 19 in each group. ;
