About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common neurological disorder of movement and/or posture and of motor function, which are due to a non-progressive interference or abnormality of the developing brain. In hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP), one side of the body is involved with the upper extremity more affected than the lower. HCP is treated by addressing the underlying cause and by various form of therapy to recover motor function. Motor function in hemi paretic limb particularly fine motor skill may be improved by upper limb children action-observation therapy (UP-CAT).
The 2 groups in the trial
- Experimental groupTreatment being tested
these individuals will receive the upper limb children action-observation training (UP-CAT) with visual feedback UP-CAT: * Individual tasks like modelling compound,board games,cards,magnets,glass bead to do bracelets,painting and crafting (making a grass man,making musical instruments with cardboard),cooking (making juice cocktails,fruit skewers,chocolate fondue),building towers, making puzzles \& water games including filling a bucket with a sponge/bottle,filling \& throwing water balloons. * To maximize the variety of the actions we included different objects (e.g.coins,bottles, stamps,modelling compound) to be grasped with different grasp types (whole hand,pinch, tripod grasp) and in different orientations of the wrist. Visual feedback: Mirror in front of patient will be used. After the baseline assessment,the patient in the experimental group will receive the upper limb children action-observation training with visual feedback Time of rehabilitation will be 1 hour/subject.

- Control groupOther group
This will receive the upper limb children action-observation training (UP-CAT). UP-CAT: Following tasks will be performed by children * Individual tasks like modelling compound,board games,cards,magnets,glass bead to do bracelets,painting and crafting (making a grass man,making musical instruments with cardboard),cooking (making juice cocktails,fruit skewers,chocolate fondue),building towers, making puzzles \& water games including filling a bucket with a sponge/bottle,filling \& throwing water balloons * To maximize the variety of the actions we included different objects (e.g. coins,bottles, stamps,modelling compound) to be grasped with different grasp types (whole hand,pinch, tripod grasp) \& in different orientations of the wrist.After the baseline assessment,the patient in the experimental group will receive the UL children action-observation training with visual feedback Time of rehabilitation will be 1 hour per subject.
