Summary

This study intends to compare the efficacy of of virtual reality therapy(VRT) with modified constraint induced movement therapy(mCIMT) versus modified constraint induced movement therapy alone for children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy aged \>/= 5-18 years, in improving the upper limb functions, as measured by the QUEST (Quality of Upper Extremity Skill Test score) over 3 months of intervention.

Conditions

  • Hemiparesis

Interventions

OTHER

Virtual Reality Therapy

VRT software and device is developed in collaboration with IIT Delhi using Kinect system. Kinect- motion sensor and computer set up is required. VRT (CIMT in a virtual environment)will be provided for 2 hours at every visit(twice weekly for first 4 weeks, once a week for next 4 weeks). VRT will be provided only during scheduled visits with the same principle as mCIMT. Functional activities like repetition of the tasks and shaping will be performed with the affected hand using VRT and CIMT while the unaffected arm is restrained

OTHER

mCIMT

Modified constraint induced movement therapy will be provided to all children according to predefined protocol.
