简要总结
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a major cause of motor disability in children. Among these CP children, approximately one third have hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Hemiparetic cerebral palsy is more impairment of one side of the body as a result of non-progressive disturbances in premature brain.To determine the effects of implementing a practice period of modified constraint induced movement therapy in a virtual environment on hand function in chidren with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.
详细描述
To determine the effects of implementing a practice period of modified constraint induced movement therapy in a virtual environment on hand function in chidren with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.The term Modified constraint-induced movement therapy is a form of rehabilitation therapy that limits the less paretic side, and through repeated and concentrated training improve the upper limb function of the paretic side. Motor imagery is a cognitive process in which a subject imagines that he or she performs a movement without actually performing the movement and without even tensing the muscles. Modified Constraint induced movement therapy can be utilized in both the lower and upper extremities with the motor imagery technique for psychological or occupational therapy and in affecting which one is better for speedy recovery.

主要结局
QUEST (Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test)
时间窗: 8 weeks
Item The Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test is an outcome measure designed to evaluate movement patterns and hand function in children with cerebral palsy. The QUEST is both reliable and valid. The purpose of the QUEST is to evaluate quality of upper extremity function in four domains: dissociated movement,grasp,protective extension, and weight bearing. Scores of 1 or 2, determined by quality of assessed position or movement; 1 if movement quality is not achieved, 2 if movement quality is achieved. Item scores are summed; formulas are used to calculate percentages for each domain. Domain percentages are summed and divided by number of domains to obtain total score. Minimum score = 0, Maximum score = 100.
