Reciprocal Electrical Stimulation Versus Kinesio Taping

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be conducted to: 1. evaluate the effect of kinesio taping on hand functions in hemiplegic cerebral palsy children 2. compare between the effects of reciprocal electrical stimulation and kinesio taping on hand functions in hemiplegic cerebral palsy children.

Clinical Trial Description

A. Patients preparation All the children demographic and outcome measures data will be collected in specially well-designed sheets1. Evaluation of fine motor skills using PDMS-2 Evaluation of hand function using Besta scale . The traditional exercise program (given to both groups): 1. Treatment protocol in Group A, Reciprocal electrical stimulation protocol - The device has two channels that can stimulate two opposing groups of muscles alternatively (reciprocate). - During ES, the child sits in a chair with his treated forearm resting on a pillow placed on the bed in front of him. - The electrodes will be placed as follows: - Channel 1 (stimulates wrist and hand extensors) electrodes placed over the dorsum of the forearm as follows: the active electrode is placed over the common extensor origin, while in different over the motor point of extensor pollicis longus, abductor pollicis longus, and extensor indices. - Channel 2 (stimulates wrist and hand flexors) electrodes placed on the palmar side of the forearm are as follows: the negative electrode is placed between the finger flexors and wrist flexors. The positive electrode is placed over the tendonportion of the forearm, - The treatment duration will be 20 minutes. - The treatment protocol will be repeated 3 times per week for 12 weeks. 2. Treatment protocol in Group B, Kinesio taping protocol: - Kinesio taping will be applied on both sides of the upper limb. - The applied area will be from the proximal one-third of the forearm to the wrist and then will be split into 5 straps into the distal interphalangeal joint of fingers. - On the dorsal side, KT will be applied on the forearm, wrist, and fingers extensors for improvement of wrist and fingers extension. - On the plantar side, KT will be applied on the forearm, wrist, and fingers flexors for inhibition of wrist and fingers flexion. - Taping will be applied for 6 days, 24 h a day, on the affected upper limb, and it will be removed for only one day per week. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
