Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy With Spasticity (Diagnosis) Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Comparative Analysis on Physical Activity Performance and Motor Function of Affected Upper Extremity Before and After a CIMT Program in Young Children With Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy
This study evaluates CIMT(Constraint Induced Movement Therapy) in the treatment of physical activity performance and motor function of the weaker extremity in young children with cerebral palsy. Half of participants will receive CIMT while the other half will receive no treatment.
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a short-term, intensive treatment to promote functional arm and hand skills in people with hemiparesis. It usually involves constraint of the non-involved extremity and intensive movement practice of the weaker extremity. ;
