Comparison of Constrained Induced Movement Therapy and Bimanual Training on Functional Outcome of Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the effects constrained induced movement therapy (CIMT) and BimanualIntensive Training (BIT) on functional outcomes hemiplegic cerebral palsy children. METHODOLOGY Cerebral children with age groups 5 12 years were included a total sample size 38. Simplerandom sampling done, data collected from Islamabad. Two formed named groupA: 19% group B: bimanual training respectively. Thefunctional outcome for CIMPT BIT assessed pretest post-test scoreevaluation QUEST JTHF tests. RESULTS Statistically significant (p <0.05) improvement found in Quality Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST)and Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function (JTHF) between -group analysis. For within analysisthe p-value <0.05 suggests that there diffe rence within-group analysis too. values forgrasp dissociated movements suggest are impactful CMIT whereasin simultaneous spontaneous increased but post -test moresignificant CMIT. CONCLUSION is more beneficial both hand’s movement, whereas morebeneficial grip overcoming “learned-nonuse” phenomena
