The children with cerebral palsy Cerebral palsy Kinesio tape Motor function Mirror neuron Gross Motor Function Measure
Conditions
Interventions
The participants in the control group receive only kinesio tape for 60 minutes.The kinesio tape application over the quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles of the participant’s both legs. For musc
a Y-
shaped strips were used with 15-
35% tension to the quadriceps muscle. I-
type strips were used with 15-
35% tension to the tibialis anterior muscle. For functional correction,
Kinesio tape was applied with 50-
75% tension from proximal third of the tibia down to head of the metatarsal bone. ,The participants in the experimental group receive kinesio taping with mirror neurons stimulation based VCD program
