Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate potential benefits of adding augmented biofeedback training to standard therapy in improving visual motor integration (VMI) visual perception (VP) and motor coordination (MC) in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy .Participants were divided randomly into three equal groups. Group (A) received specially designed program of physical therapy intervention strategies to facilitate visual motor integration and visual perception over a period of three months. Group (B) received augmented biofeedback training only, and group (C) received augmented biofeedback training and same physical therapy program as group (A).
