简要总结
The purpose of the study is to compare the effect between mirror therapy and task-oriented training on hand function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy.
详细描述
Dysfunction in the upper limbs and hand function is one of the most common symptoms in children with cerebral palsy (CP), particularly children with unilateral CP which intern has the potential to limit the involvement of these children in life activities and cause distress and suffering for both children and their parents. Different rehabilitation intervention procedures addressing upper extremity dysfunction are essential to promote better use of disabled arms and hands in daily activities and achieving functional independence at home, in school and in the community. However, there is little evidence directed toward which intervention procedure is more effective on hand function therefore, there is need to compare between the functional outcome of mirror therapy versus task-oriented training on hand function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy.
