Mirror Therapy With Sensory Motor Training in Children With CP

Summary

The study compares two interventions in CP children: mirror therapy with sensory motor training versus mirror therapy with motor training. Mirror therapy works by manipulating the brain out of pain, ultimately improving movement in patients with one-sided paralysis. It can be used in combination with other therapies to assist patients with cerebral palsy in retraining the brains, restoring function, and enhancing the overall quality of life. The purpose of this study is to use a combination of Mirror therapy with sensory motor training and motor training and observe which one of these combinations has the most desirable effects in improving movement and quality of life in CP Children

Conditions

• Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Experimental: Mirror therapy with sensory motor training.

Block design, finding shapes in pictures, puzzles, matching geometric shapes and letters, numbers, and classification. Pointing to the body parts, life-size drawing, turning left and right side and awareness of the body parts through touch. feeling various textures, touching boards, and feeling shapes. Ocular-pursuit training, moving ball and pegboard activities During the sessions, subjects were asked to try and do the same movement with the paretic hand simultaneously The patients will be asked to repeat each movement 20 times per set for three sets, with a 2-minute break between sets. Session will last for 45 mins

OTHER

Experimental: Mirror Therapy with motor training

the participant is asked to perform a forearm movement sting on the paretic side while the subjects look into the mirror, watching the image of their non-involved hand and thus seeing the reflection of the hand movement projected over the involved hand. During the sessions subjects were asked to try and do the same movement with the paretic hand simultaneously. movement was repeated 20 times per set for three sets, with a 2-minute break between sets

OTHER

Experimental: Motor Training

1. Holding object with two hands, clapping, banging objects together. 2. Stabilize objects with one hand while the other is manipulating (holding paper while coloring, holding a container while putting objects in) 3. manipulate objects with both hands simultaneously (stringing beads, tying a knot), 4. ask child to padlock in which a key can be put into, markers with caps to put on, a box with a lid and objects to put inside the box 5. hold a cup with one hand while putting object in with other hand 6. Buttoning with both hands, tying a bow. doing craft project, fitting blocks together
