Brief Summary

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

Hemiplegia is the medical term for paralysis of one side of the body This means their shoulder; arm, hand, leg and foot are all completely paralyzed.. It results in muscular wasting on the affected side, impairs gait, reduces motor abilities, and causes instability and a loss of grasping capacity. The patient\'s quality of life is impacted by hemiplegia because it impairs brain and spinal cord functions Hemiplegic cerebral palsy is the type of cerebral palsy in which there is absolutely no use of one side of the body. This means their shoulder; arm, hand, leg and foot are all completely paralyzed. Hemiplegia in infants and children is a type of Cerebral Palsy that results from damage to the part (hemisphere) of the brain that controls muscle movements. This damage may occur before, during or shortly after birth. The term hemiplegia means that the paralysis is on one vertical half of the body.

Detailed Description

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

The Comprehensive Hand Repetitive Intensive Strength Training (CHRIST) program is designed to provides special training for enhancing muscular strength of the upper limb.

The current study will be a randomized control trial, and data will be collected from Ittefaq Hospital Lahore Pakistan. The study will include 30 patients equally divided into two groups experimental group included 15 patients, and the control group included 15 patients and was randomly allocated. The inclusion criteria for the study will be Comprehensive Hand Repetitive Intensive Strength Training on the upper limb of CP patients with age between 6 to 12 years and both genders will be included children who have normal communication skills and cognitive function will be included and give 30 minutes per session three sessions in a week and total 30 sessions per ten weeks and to normalize muscle tone and patient able to perform ADLS.

Children having damaged musculoskeletal system including fracture of upper limb and contracture will be excluded children having undergone administration of medicine influencing muscular strength and spasticity will be excluded tools used for data collection are Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test and ABIL Hand for upper limb and data will be analyzed by SPSS version 26.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

It will be randomized control trial in which non probability convenient sampling will be used. Two groups of 6-12 age will be formed in which participants will be randomly divided. Group A will be receive Group-Task-Oriented Training. Group B will be receive routine therapy
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
participant will get separate treatment protocol and possible efforts will be put to mask the both group about the treatment

Study Groups

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

Experimental group will received Comprehensive Hand Repetitive Intensive Strength Training

Physical Therapy 60 minutes per session, three sessions a week, at a total of 30 sessions per ten weeks. Comprehensive hand repetitive intensive strength training included treadmill training for the upper limb with body weight supporting the using upper limb. The posture of an arm swing was to maintain the joints of the elbows and wrist as much as possible, and the shoulder joint was allowed to be flexed by 160 degrees.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intensive Strength Training

Intervention Type OTHER

Comprehensive Hand Repetitive Intensive Strength Training and Routine Physical Therapy 60 minutes per session, three sessions a week, at a total of 30 sessions per ten weeks. Comprehensive hand repetitive intensive strength training included treadmill training for the upper limb with body weight supporting the using upper limb. The posture of an arm swing was to maintain the joints of the elbows and wrist as much as possible, and the shoulder joint was allowed to be flexed by 160 degrees .The posture of the arm stance supported the weight using metacarpal heads, hands, and elbows, and the shoulder joints were allowed to be flexed by 90 degrees.

Routine Physical Therapy

control will received 60 minutes per a session, three sessions a week, at a total of 30 sessions per 10 weeks by creating a home program, which consisted of a total of 8 exercises that enhanced the muscular strength of the upper limb including the triceps brachii and extensor carpi radialis, and conveyed an effect of reaching the muscles out.

Group Type OTHER

Routine Physical Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Received 60 minutes per a session, three sessions a week, at a total of 30 sessions per 10 weeks by creating a home program, which consisted of a total of 8 exercises that enhanced the muscular strength of the upper limb including the triceps brachii and extensor carpi radialis, and conveyed an effect of reaching the muscles out. flexion and extension muscle strengthening with towel, hand grip and wrist extension muscle strengthening This exercise consisted of shoulder extension muscle, elbow flexion muscle, shoulder abduction muscle, and elbow extension muscle strengthening with a thera band, as well as hand grip, forearm with a velcro board, wrist extension muscle strengthening with sandbag and shoulder abduction-extension muscle strengthening with a thera band.
