Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a trunk and upper extremities exercise program. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Whether the program decreases compensation patterns in unilateral cerebral palsy children Whether the program decreases pain in unilateral cerebral palsy children Whether the program improves bimanual ability in unilateral cerebral palsy children Participants will undertake and 8-week program exercise at home If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare with the control group to see if this program decreases compensation patterns.
Detailed Description
Children in control group will continue with their daily activities. Children in experimental group, apart from their daily activities, will undertake an 8-week program exercise at home for strengthening the trunk and the proximal part of both upper extremities. It contains 3 progressions that can be applied if needed.
