Summary

The aim of the present study is to compare the effects of Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT)-based upper limb rehabilitation and video-game based therapy (VGBT) with Nintendo® Wii and LMC games on upper extremity functions in patients with Cerebral Palsy (CP).

Detailed description

The investigators hypothesized that VGBT using the Nintendo® Wii and LMC would be a usable tool to train manual dexterity in patients with CP as comprehensive and holistic therapy. The NDT program for both groups will be routinely applied according to each child's individual needs and included tonus regulation, support of sensation, perception and motor development for gross motor function. The two different patient-centered rehabilitation programs will be conducted with an average of one hour sessions three times a week for 8 weeks in both groups. The two different patient-centered programs will be as VGBT with Nintendo® Wii and LMC games (Group I) and NDT-based upper limb rehabilitation (Group II).

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	VGBT with Nintendo® Wii and LMC games	Nintendo Wii and LMC games will be used for upper limb rehabilitation in Cerebral Palsy. The games are tennis and boxing for Nintendo Wii, Leapball and CatchApet for LMC.
BEHAVIORAL	NDT-based upper limb rehabilitation	NDT-based upper limb rehabilitation includes using real materials (clothes, spoons, pencils, buttons, rope, etc.) such as getting dressed and eating etc. Also, It will practised with the materials such as velcro cylinders, skill cubes, exercise bands, screw sets, therapeutic putty, and tripled coordination tools.
