Twenty two subjects will be divided into two groups at random. The experimental group will receive Theraplay therapy, which is a program that includes various play-based activities like playing with wooden puzzles, clay and blocks, making wraps, bubble tennis, and special handshakes, claps, and high fives, in addition to designed conventional therapy. The control group will receive designed conventional physical therapy exercises for the affected hand, such as hand weight-bearing exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises, and exercises using sponge balls.
The course of treatment will run for eight weeks. As outcome measures, the GMFCS and MACS scales, the box and block test, finger tapping, and the nine-hole peg test will be employed.
Data will be analyzed on SPSS version 25; the normality of the data will be checked and tests will be applied according to the normality of the data either it will be a parametric test or non parametric based on the normality.
