Summary

Plyometric training includes muscle contraction that moves rapidly from the eccentric to the concentric phase of movement while using proper biomechanics. It is an effective neuromuscular stimulus that can improve motor functions of children with cerebral palsy. In plyometric training, muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power.

Commercially available video games have been used for a wide range of clinical populations with generally positive clinical outcomes. They have been shown to be active enough to provide an increase in energy expenditure and physical activity in children with cerebral palsy. Furthermore, an early case study showed improvements in visual-perceptual processing, balance, and mobility in a child with cerebral palsy.

Interventions

OTHER

Occupational therapy

Both groups received a designed occupational therapy program for 30 minutes

OTHER

Plyometric training

The designed plyometric training program basically focuses on upper extremity strength training and is developed according to the guidelines of the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

OTHER

Wii training

The dose of Wii training was 40 minutes, three times a week for 12 weeks which is an interactive motion-based device.
