Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study aims to determine the effects of upper limb sensorimotor training as compared to task oriented raining in subjects with cerebral palsy. The study will target the upperlimb functions using multiple outcomes and will find the changes in subjects undergoing sensorimotor or task oriented training.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The stduy will include subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria, will be divided into 2 groups; interventional and control. The interventional group will be recieving sensorimotor training comprising of sensory activities and motor activities. The control group will be having motor activities in the form of task oriented training. The duration of intervention would be 40 minutes in each group, 3 days a week, for 8 weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

interventional group

Superficial and Deep Sensory training: 5 sets of 9 min, 3 times a week for 8 weeks.

Motor training: 5 sets of 9 min, 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Conventional therapy: 30 min, 3 days for 8 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sensory training

Intervention Type OTHER

sensory training includes superficial sensory and deep sensory activities i.e. play with dough, painting with finger, recognizing objects with blocked vision, recognizing the drawn figure on palm, oint compression, bearing the weight on the paretic hand, leaning on the paretic side, walking with hand, rolling the heavy objects, dough squeezing etc.

Motor training

Intervention Type OTHER

Motor training would involve activitoes such as throwing and catching a ball, targeted ball throwing, hand in hand ball transferring, ball rolling, hitting a ball to ground and wall, hand roller etc.

Conventional exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

stretching exercises, muscle strengthening exercises, static weight bearing exercises, positioning
