简要总结
Purpose: To determine the effect of scapular alignment on upper limb function in hemiparetic children and to find relation between scapular alignment of the affected, less affected limb and the upper limb function in children with spastic hemiparesis Subjects: Forty children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy, from both genders, were included in this study. They were selected from Outpatient Clinic of Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University. The age of the selected children was ranging from 3 to 6 years old. Degree of spasticity is ranging from 1 to 1+ according to modified Ashworth scale.
Methods: Forty children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy were assessed for scapular alignment using Postural zone software and for upper limb function using pediatric arm function test.
