Physiotherapy for cerebral palsy

Phase 2

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Spastic hemiplegia,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2022/01/039696
• Lead Sponsor: Indian Council of Medical Research

Brief Summary

The current study tends to explore a relatively less

explored rehabilitation modality, albeit highly promising in preliminary studies i.e. hand

arm bimanual intensive training as an equivalent and less restrictive, more acceptable

alternative to modified CIMT for children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. If found

successful, this will generate level I evidence in this regard and is likely to change the

management of children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy favourably in upcoming years.

The design of the study is open label RCT. The  participant will receive either modified CIMT or HABIT for 8 weeks.
