Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a group of permanent disorders that occur in the brain of the fetus or infant, which are non-progressive, cause movement and posture disorder along with activity limitation.

The upper extremity is frequently affected in patients with CP. The prevalence of upper extremity involvement has been reported between 60-83% in different studies.

Virtual reality applications have been increasing recently in the field of neurological rehabilitation. In this study, researchers aimed to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality-mediated upper extremity rehabilitation in patients with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Upper Extremity Paresis

Interventions

OTHER

Virtual reality mediated upper extremity rehabilitation

Game-based exercise will be applied for different range of motion of the upper extremity. Gamified exercise program consisting of 4 different scenarios will be applied 3 days a week for 6 weeks to the patients in the virtual reality group. A session takes an average of 45 minutes. Games to be applied; 1. Finger flexion-extension (10 minutes / session) 2. Wrist flexion, extension, ulnar and radial deviation (10 minutes / session) 3. Forearm pronation and supination (10 minutes / session) 4. Elbow flexion-extension-shoulder internal and external rotation (15 minutes / session) will have scenarios controlled with. All patients participating in the study will receive exercise therapy in the form of upper extremity stretching, range of motion, and fine skill training 2 days a week for 6 weeks. Each session takes an average of 45 minutes.

OTHER

Classical exercise therapy for upper extremities

All patients participating in the study will receive exercise therapy in the form of upper extremity stretching, range of motion, and fine skill training 2 days a week for 6 weeks. Each session takes an average of 45 minutes.
