Abstract

An interventional study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of constrained induced movement therapy to promote the motor movements of upper limbs of children with cerebral palsy. Quasi experimental pretest, post test with control group design was adopted to conduct the study. Purposive sample of 12 cerebral palsy children was selected and randomly allocated to experimental group and control groups. Constrained induced movement therapy was administered to the children for a period of 15 days. Modified Pediatric Motor Activity Log (Edward Taub, 2004) was administered before and after the intervention to assess motor movements. Paired and unpaired ‘t’ test was used to test the hypothesis. The result reveals that there was a significant improvement that in the motor movements of upper limbs, after constrained induced movement therapy.
