Summary

The study design will be a Randomized control trial. The data will be collected from Acme Medical complex and Rehab cure clinic. The study will be completed in 10 months after the approval of synopsis. The sampling technique will be non-probability convenient sampling. Sample size is 16 calculated by epitool. Group A will receive Routine Physical therapy with play based neural mobilization activity method and Group B will receive Routine Physical therapy with baseline treatment. Diplegic cerebral palsy girls and boys included with age limit 6-12 years and without history of injury 1 year, Patients who cannot obey commands will be excluded. Hand dynamometer and pegboard test will used as outcome tool. Single blinding will be used. Data Analysis will be done on Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.00.

Conditions

neural mobilization which include ulnar, median and radial nerves mobilisation by a play activity called "Simon says" in addition to the routine physical therapy treatment.

treatment include muscle stretching, strengthening, gait training, Range of motion exercises for both upper and lower limbs. Group A will perform neural mobilization which include ulnar, median and radial nerves mobilisation by a play activity called "Simon says" in addition to the routine physical therapy treatment. Total 20 sessions will be performed (40 min, 3 days a week)
