Age
4 Years to 6 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Hemiplegic children Ranging in age from four to six years The degree of spasticity ranged from 1+ to 2 grades according to the modified Ashowrth scale. They were free from any associated disorders other than spasticity The affected upper limb was free from any structural deformities; however, patients demonstrated variable degree of tightness They had partial volitional control over the antispastic muscle groups. All of them were within average IQ level.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The degree of spasticity ranged from 3to4 grades according to the modified Ashowrth scale.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Elbow extension and upper limb kinematics ( movement time, peak velocity, time-to-peak velocity, percent of reach-to-peak velocity, number of movement units, percent of time of first movement unit) were the outcome variables. Timepoint: Elbow extension and functional evaluation of reaching were measured before and immediately after six months of the treatment program. Method of measurement: Electro-Goniometer and 3-Dimensional motion analysis system. | — |
