Effect of Conventional Physiotherapy and Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy through Play way Method to Improve the Upper Extremity Motor Skills among the Children with Hemi paretic Cerebral Palsy
Abstract: There is a tendency in children with unilateral involvement to use their non-affected hand as the dominant hand, even when the actual functional loss is mild. The potential use of the affected upper extremity of children with hemiparetic CP often fails due to “developmental non-use”, and this leads to increased muscle tone, and decreased active and passive range of motion of the joints of the limb, poor motor control, generalized …

Effectiveness of Abdominal Muscle Exercise in Improving Peak Expiratory Flow in Normal Individuals
Abstract: In health the human cardiopulmonary system has enormous reserve capacity to cope with the demands of exercise (or) illness. Expiration is usually normally a passive process with active muscle contraction being used during more forceful activities such as cough (or) sneezing. The abdominal muscles are the major muscle of the diaphragm. So it improves the efficiency of expiration. The objective is that the person with partial (or) complete weakness of …

To Study the Effects of Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy versus Constraint Induced Movement Therapy for Young Children with Spastic Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy-A Comparative Study
Abstract: Objectives of the study are to find out whether restraining of the uninvolved limb and use of hand techniques will help to overcome hand function and improve functional activity in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Methodology adopted is to use convenient sampling of thirty subjects divided into two groups A and B of fifteen each. Group A - Control group and Group B-Experimental group (15 patients in each group). Group A …
