Effects of Comprehensive Hand Intense Strength Training on In Hand Manipulation and Grip Strength Among Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy
This Quasi experimental study investigates the effects of CHRIST on In Hand Manipulation and Grip Strength amonfg children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy. The study involves 14 children from 6-12 years of age, and will be given intervention for 10 weeks period.
Key performance outcomes- In Hand Manipulation and Grip Strength will be assessed both before and after the intervention. This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the effects of the CHRIST on IHM and grip strength in children diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy. The hypothesis is that integrating strength training with high repetition, functionally relevant tasks yields greater and more practical gains than strength training or conventional therapy alone. Data will be analyzed through SPSS version 27.0
