Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The frequency with which CP occurs is of importance as it is the first effort towards its prevention. It also estimates the supportive services and the medical care that is required for children with cerebral palsy and also their families. Many studies were conducted to check the trends of Cerebral Palsy occurrence depending upon the low birth weight.
The definition of cerebral palsy shows that it is just a single disorder infect it is collection of disorders. Prevalence of cerebral palsy shows that out of 1000 births, there are 2.0-2.5 children are victims of cp. However in few children, the causes of CP are still not known. Moreover, the causes need to be discriminated from the risk factors. Prenatal events are also responsible for CP. Such events may include toxins, maternal infection for example rubella or brain malformations. One of the prenatal causes is birth asphyxia. A small ratio of CP can be the result of perinatal causes. 10% cases of cp are result of postnatal causes. The causes can be accidental or non-accidental. Meningitis is also one of the postnatal causes.
Out of all types of cerebral palsy, one-third is spastic hemiplegic. Birth trauma can be the cause of spastic hemiplegia. Researches show that there is more ratio of right hemiplegia than the left hemiplegia. The most common form of CP that is seen in premature children is spastic diplegia. In spastic diplegia, spasticity affects lower limbs more than the upper extremity. Birth asphyxia is seen in children born with the choreo-athetosis.
Traditional hemiplegic patients receive occupational and physical therapy to improve their functional skills. Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) is an approach to treating the hemiparesis that facilitate use of hemiparetic arm through constraint the unaffected arm.it has been shown to be effective treatment in hemiparesis in adult and children.
In this study, I hypothesized that there is a difference between the effectiveness of classic CIMT with modified CIMT on upper extremity motor function outcomes in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of classic CIMT with modified CIMT on upper extremity motor functions and to see the psychosocial impact of CIMT on hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
LITERATURE REVIEW:
There is injury of undeveloped brain in Children with CP. Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) have trouble using their affected arm and hand on one side of their body. Evidence from randomized controlled trials, clinical controlled trials, and systematic reviews has shown constraint therapy improves hand and arm movement in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. According to a research review done in 2014; it is seen that CIMT proved to be beneficial in improving hand function as compared to the conventional therapy. A comparison was done between equal intensity of bimanual training and CIMT. Results showed same progress in hand function.
A comparison was done between equal intensity of hand arm bimanual training (HABIT) and CIMT. Results showed same progress in hand function. Modified constraint-induced movement therapy improved isolated functions of the hemiplegic arm better than intensive bimanual training, but regarding spontaneous hand use in everyday life both methods lead to similar improvement. This suggests mCIMT should be paired with BIT to achieve optimal results for children with HCP who present with difficulties in both unimanual and bimanual hand functions. A study combining mCIMT and BIT demonstrated more frequent and more effective use of the affected limb, and better performance inself-care and leisure tasks.
Children and parents from both groups (CIMT and BIT) reported a significant improvement in their or their child's feelings about functioning as well as participation and physical health. The parents of children receiving CIMT reported positive and sustained changes in their child's social well-being (CPQOL-Child). The CIMT group showed significant improvements in physical well-being, psychological well-being, moods and emotions.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Classic CIMT group
Total session of 6 hours a day, 5 days per week for 3 weeks to Classic CIMT groups will be given.
Classic CIMT group
Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is a new treatment technique that claims to improve the arm motor ability and the functional use of a paretic arm - hand. CIMT forces the use of the affected side by restraining the unaffected side. Child with hemiplegic cerebral palsy can learn to improve the motor ability of the more affected parts of their bodies and thus cease to rely exclusively or primarily on the less affected parts.
mCIMT group
Session of 6 hours a day, 5 session per week for first 2 weeks (CIMT), session of 2 hours a day, 5 days per week for last 1 week (BIT) to modified CIMT group will be given.
Modified CIMT group
Modified CIMT protocol that was based on suggestions made by Dromerick, Edwards, and Hahn (2000) . Modifications were reductions in the duration of mitt wear and massed practice compared with the traditional protocol
