About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a major cause of motor disability in children. Among these CP children, approximately one third have hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Hemiparetic cerebral palsy is more impairment of one side of the body as a result of non-progressive disturbances in premature brain.To determine the effects of implementing a practice period of modified constraint induced movement therapy in a virtual environment on hand function in chidren with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Modified Constraint Induced Movement TherapyTreatment being tested

    Group that will be provided with Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy. A protocol of 10 minutes of MCIMT therapy will be given including constraints.

  • Motor Imagery TechniqueTreatment being tested

    Group that will be provided with Motor Imagery Technique by grasping an object and placing it into a container, or in imagining to perform the same action.
