简要总结
The aim is to investigate the effect of mirror therapy on hand functions in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
详细描述
Hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) is a form of paralysis that affects motor performance and muscle tone on one side of the body. Spastic hemiplegia CP is the second form of cerebral palsy in premature infants, affecting one side of the body's limbs. Hand and upper limb dysfunction cause problems in half of the children with cerebral palsy. Mirror therapy is a growingly recognized new treatment option for hemiplegic cerebral palsy. While upper extremity involvement in hemiplegic CP and the residual effects are more severe, there is limited evidence of the efficacy of mirror treatment in children with hemiplegic CP
