About this study

Both CCIMT and MCIMT are effective treatments to improve quality of life of children with CP. However conflicting evidence is present on which one of these is more effective and no final conclusion can be made to date. This study intends to add to the literature and contribute in reaching final conclusion about the superiority of either intervention. The purpose of this study was to see the psychosocial effect (quality of life) of CIMT and its modified form on HCP

Primary outcomes

  1. Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life CP(QOL)

    Time frame: 3 weeks.

    The Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life for Children (CP QOL-Child) is the first health condition-specific questionnaire designed for measuring QOL in children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 4-12 years. CP QOL Questionnaires measure include : Social wellbeing & acceptance, Feelings about functioning, Participation & physical health, Emotional wellbeing & self-esteem, Access to services, Pain & impact of disability, Family health

Secondary outcomes

  1. Kid Screen 27

    Time frame: 3 weeks

    The KIDSCREEN-27 was developed as a shorter version of the KIDSCREEN-52 with a minimum of information loss and with good psychometric properties. The KIDSCREEN-27 with five dimensions resulted.
