About this study

Cerebral Palsy is one of the most common issue seen in pediatric rehabilitation .Home based intensive Bimanual training has proven to be one of the most effective rehabilitation training for improving motor. The study determines the effectiveness of routine physical therapy with or without home-based intensive bimanual training on coordination of hands and daily activities of daily living. A nine months randomized control trial was comprised of thirty children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy aged between 4 to 7 years. One group received routine physical therapy and the other group received a goal specific bimanual training from their parents in their home setting for 3.5 hours per week for 6 weeks according to a modified set up. Follow up sessions were done at 6th week. Activities of daily living and coordination were measured using Pediatric motor log activity scale and ABILHAND respectively.
