Summary
This study tests whether adding task-specific electrical stimulation to standard physical therapy can improve upper limb gross motor skills in children aged 2 to 6 with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy. Thirty children will be split into two groups: one gets standard therapy, the other gets standard therapy plus electrical stimulation during weight-bearing exercises. The main goal is to see if the stimulation helps with arm function, measured by the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test.
