简要总结
Plyometric training includes muscle contraction that moves rapidly from the eccentric to the concentric phase of movement while using proper biomechanics. It is an effective neuromuscular stimulus that can improve motor functions of children with CP. In plyometric training, muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power.
详细描述
This is a prospective double-masked randomized controlled trial.

结局指标
主要结局
Hand grip strength
时间窗: after 3 successive months
The hand held dynamometer was used to assess grip strength and recorded in kilogram.
Upper extremity function
时间窗: after 3 successive months
The quality of upper extremity skill test is used to measure the motor function with maximum score 100% with higher score reflects better performance.
次要结局
- Selective motor control(after 3 successive months)
