Group A
Physical therapy program The exercise session for one hour for each child , conducted 3times/ week for 3 successive months.
1. Flexibility exercises for shorted muscles and spastic muscles.
2. Strengthening training focusing on the trunk lower limb and upper limb muscles for weak muscles.
3. Postural control exercise in different positions and different surfaces
4. General endurance training
5. Exercises to facilitate hand function
6. Exercises included, grasping a cube, transferring cube, removing and placing pegs, releasing cube and placing cubes. Strengthening exercises of the intrinsic muscles of the hand
