This study aimed to develop Video Compact Disc (VCD) program that applying the concept of imitative learning with mirror neurons stimulation on standard rehabilitation technique in children with cerebral palsy. The author will also examine effectiveness of the program by compare the motor function measured by the gross motor function measure (GMFM-66) between conventional physical therapy and the mirror neurons stimulation based VCD program for six months.

Primary | The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66) Score at Entry, the Second and the Sixth Month. | The mean total score of GMFM-66 of each group at entry, the second and the sixth month. The GMFM-66 contains five dimensions of motor measure including lying/rolling (4 items), sitting (15 items), crawling/kneeling (10 items), standing (13 items), and walking/running/jumping (24 items). The GMFM-66 are scored on a 4-point ordinal scale 0=does not initiate, 1=initiates < 10% of activity,2=partially completes 10% to < 100% of activity,3=completes activity). The scores were converted to a continuous scale by using the Winsteps Rasch Software.The GMFM-66 score is an interval-level measure of function where subjects are placed on an ability continuum ranging from 0 (low motor ability) to 100 (high motor ability). GMFM-66 score less than 30 that are considered low gross motor skills. | Base line, two months and six months |
