Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate brain reorganization, functional motor development, level of daily living activity and quality of life of upper extremity mirror therapy in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Several studies have reported increased use of the affected arm following rearrangement of cerebral re-organization with mirror therapy. The investigator's study is the first of its kind and was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of upper extremity mirror therapy in cerebral reorganization and functional motor skills in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Hypothesis of this study is that mirror therapy improves brain re-organisation, functional motor skills and daily living activities in unilateral spastic CP.
