简要总结
The aim of the study is to determine the role of designed program in the universal exercise unit on upper limb function and strength in children with spastic hemiplegia. forty children with spastic hemiplegia cerebral palsy from both sexes had been selected from the Outpatient Clinic of the Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University . Children were divided into two groups of equal numbers; 20 patients in each group. Group A: Children in this group received a selected physical therapy program. Group B: Children in this group received a designed physical therapy program in UEU in addition to the selected physical therapy program. A-Materials for evaluation 1- For the Quality Of Upper Extremity Skill Test (QUEST),2- Biodex Isokinetic systems.Evaluation was carried out for each child individually before and after 3 months of treatment
详细描述
This study is designed to answer the following question:
Is there an effect of designed program in universal exercise unit on upper limb function and strength in children with spastic hemiplegia? Purpose of The Study The purpose of the study is to determine the role of designed program in the universal exercise unit on upper limb function and strength in children with spastic hemiplegia.
Null Hypothesis Is there is no role of designed program in the universal exercise unit on the upper limb in children with spastic hemiplegia.
The study was concluded forty children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy from both sexes had been selected from according to the following criteria:
- children ages were ranged from 5-9 years old.
- The children had spasticity grades 1, 1+ degree according to Modified Ashworth scale
- The children were selected to be in level I and II GMFCs
- The children were selected to be in level II MACs participants had been excluded if they had the following:

结局指标
主要结局
The Quality of Upper Extremity Skill Test
时间窗: The total testing timing including the administration and scoring was approximately 45 minutes. The scoring was performed and recorded in scoring box. Even if the item was not tested (I.e: yes, no, not tested)
The Quality of Upper Extremity Skill est test included 34 items in four domains of dissociated movement, grasp, weight bearing and protective extension. All children in this study were assessed in the four domains. The total number of 'yes' and 'no' responses provide the raw score for each domain. This is then weighted and transformed into a final score range of zero to 100.
次要结局
- The Biodex Isokinetic system(The evaluation was carried out for each child individually before and after three month of treatment.)
