Abstract: ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The frequency of CP is 0.66 per 1000 between the ages of 6 and 15. Postnatal hemiplegia, mostly postinfectious, iatrogenic, or posttraumatic, accounted for 11% of all cases. 42% of term children with congenital hemiplegia (pre and perinatally derived) had prenatal causes, 9% had combined pre and perinatal causes, 16% had perinatal causes, and 34% had untraceable causes. When performing daily tasks with one hand, children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy typically ignore or don't use their injured limb. Its goal is to enhance spontaneous use of the afflicted upper limb. The two essential principles of CIMT are mass practice of therapeutic tasks with the injured limb and restriction of the unaffected limb. The goal of this research is to determine how well CIMT (Constraint Induced Movement Therapy) works for enhancing upper extremity function in hemiplegic cerebral palsy children between the ages of 3 and 11 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was done and a total of 30 children having hemiplegic cerebral palsy between 3-11 years were selected and treated with Constraint induced movement therapy for upper extremity. Treatment includes shoulder and elbow strengthening: pushing up through hands, climbing and wrist, hand and finger strengthening: squeezing games, paper scrunching, tongs and tweezers was given for 4 weeks. Modified Ashworth Scale and UEFI results from pre-intervention at 1st week and post-intervention at 4th week are used to evaluate the youngsters. RESULT: Statistics were used to evaluate the values using the paired 't test. The statistical examination of the quantitative data revealed a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test values of MAS and UEFI. The UEFI was 32.77 and the MAS' post-test mean value was 0.62. This demonstrates that CIMT significantly improved the upper extremity functions of the children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. CONCLUSION: Constraint Induced Movement Therapy has been found to be beneficial in enhancing upper extremity functions in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
Keywords: KEYWORDS: Cerebral palsy, CIMT, MAS, upper extremity, UEFI.
