Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In this study, a total of 30 spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsied children (19 boys and 11 girls) aged 3-6 years, they were selected from general hospitals and private centers in kafr El-Sheikh government, randomly assigned to either the control group (n=15), who received a specially selected physical therapy program for hand function on standard chair seating, or the study group (n=15), who received the same selected program for hand function but on adaptive Swiss ball seating. Both groups received 3 sessions per week for 3 successive months. Peabody Developmental Motor Scales 2 (PDMS-2) was used to evaluate each child individually before and after three successive months of treatment, to assess 2 subtests (grasping skills and visual motor integration skills).
