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 …
