简要总结
Among the neurological conditions known as cerebral palsy are those that impact muscle tone, mobility, and cooperation. Cerebral palsy that affects only one side of the body is known as hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Damage to one side of the brain causes this disorder, which usually manifests as before, in the middle of, or soon after birth. The ability to use one's hands with coordination and expertise to accomplish tasks that call for control and accuracy is known as hand dexterity. For those who have cerebral palsy, hand dexterity can be a major issue. Developing hand dexterity is crucial as it might augment an individual's capacity to execute routine tasks and attain greater autonomy.Convenient sampling will be used to carry out a randomized control study.
Twenty two subjects will be divided into two groups at random. The experimental group will receive Theraplay therapy, which is a program that includes various play-based activities like playing with wooden puzzles, clay and blocks, making wraps, bubble tennis, and special handshakes, claps, and high fives, in addition to designed conventional therapy. The control group will receive designed conventional physical therapy exercises for the affected hand, such as hand weight-bearing exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises, and exercises using sponge balls.
The course of treatment will run for eight weeks. As outcome measures, the GMFCS and MACS scales, the box and block test, finger tapping, and the nine-hole peg test will be employed.
Data will be analyzed on SPSS version 25; the normality of the data will be checked and tests will be applied according to the normality of the data either it will be a parametric test or non parametric based on the normality.
详细描述
Group A: The control group will receive a designed conventional physical therapy program for the affected hand like stretching and strengthening exercises, sponge ball exercises to the hand, and hand weight bearing exercises.
Group B: The experimental group will receive Theraplay therapy or a program and different play-based activities like playing with wooden puzzles and playing with clay and blocks, special handshake claps high fives, making wraps, and bubble tennis in addition to designed conventional therapy.

主要结局
Box And Block Test
时间窗: 8 weeks
During therapy, a functional test called the Box and Blocks Test is performed to gauge a child with cerebral palsy's gross manual dexterity. The exam consists of a box with a center partition.
Manual Ability Classification scale
时间窗: 8 weeks
The purpose of the Manual Ability Classification System is to categorize the ways in which kids with cerebral palsy use their hands to handle items during everyday tasks. The categorization is intended to represent the child's average manual performance rather than their maximum ability. There are five levels to it.
Finger Tapping Test
时间窗: 8 weeks
The Finger Tapping Test, sometimes called the Tapping Speed Assessment, is one of the many tools available to assess motor control and the condition of the neuromuscular system.
Gross Motor Functional Classification Scale
时间窗: 8 weeks
The most widely used scale by pediatric professionals to characterize the degree of gross motor impairment in children with cerebral palsy is the GMFCS. The five-level Gross Motor Function Classification System is used to categorize children with cerebral palsy according to their current gross motor ability, their limits in gross motor function, and whether or not they require assistive technology or wheeled mobility.
modified ashworth scale
时间窗: 8 weeks
The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is a commonly used clinical assessment tool to evaluate muscle tone and spasticity in individuals with neurological conditions such as spastic cerebral palsy. It is a reliable and valid method for grading muscle resistance during passive movement. interrater reliability of AS and MAS varied from moderate to good. ICC scores of AS were between 0.54 and 0.78 and MAS were between 0.61-0.87. Test-retest results of AS and MAS varied from poor to good. ICC values were between 0.31 and 0.82 for AS and between 0.36 and 0.83 for MAS.
ABILHAND-KID
时间窗: 8 Weeks
a clinical instrument for assessing children with cerebral palsy's physical dexterity. The parents rated 21 largely bimanual elements that made up the ABILHAND-Kids scale. Because the parents gave a more accurate assessment of their kids' abilities than the kids did, the measurement range was larger, the reliability (R=0.94) was higher, and the results were consistent over time.
Nine Hole Peg Test
时间窗: 8 weeks
Patients with cerebral palsy can have their finger dexterity measured with the Nine Hole Peg Test.The patient picks up each of the nine pegs as fast as they can and inserts them into the nine holes in this test using a start command that starts a stopwatch.
