Improved Hand Function in Children with Cerebral Palsy with Repeat Doses of Group Based Hybrid Pediatric Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy

The study’s aim is to analyze the improved hand function and bimanual performance with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) from repeat doses of an augmented, group-based pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy (pCIMT) camp. Fifteen children CP (ages 5–15 years, 9 male, 6 female, Manual Abilities Classification System (MACS) I = 3, MACS II 11, III 1) participated in two sessions annual pCIMT Participants attended 10 days camp where they received training wearing a constraint for total 50 h, bilateral, occupation-based activities h (60 total) including 30 min each day on Hocoma Armeo®Spring. Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA) was administered pre-intervention post-intervention. Our results discovered mean interval dose 1 2 511 days. Dose AHA score at baseline 55.93 ± 12.78 66.53 12.85 post. as 58.13 12.80 post 12.82. In conclusion, there overall significant functional improvement based scores that indicate, regardless which session, There generalized upward trend pCIMT, diminished effects between were reversed doses.
