Summary

This study compares two types of hand therapy for children aged 5-12 with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a condition that causes stiffness and weakness on one side of the body. One therapy uses both hands together, the other focuses on the affected hand alone. Over 8 weeks, researchers will measure changes in muscle stiffness and daily living skills to see which approach works better.
