Summary

the effectiveness of task - oriented training with pretend play on gross motor function, functional capacity and cognitive function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Detailed description

PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of task-oriented training with pretend play on: gross motor function, functional capacity and cognitive function in children with hemiplegic CP. BACKGROUND: Children with HCP experience difficulty with the motor function of the affected lower extremity. The majority of children with hemiplegia are able to walk without restrictions but more advanced gross motor skills are often affected. Task-Oriented Training is a contemporary neurological rehabilitation technique that has the prospects of improving the quality of life of children with CP. It is a function-based, goal directed intervention that requires active involvement of the patient in a therapy that is task and context-specific, which focused on the accomplishment of functional activities and participation. Pretend play is defined as play in which the child acts with intent that is representational. pretend play helps children learn how to express themselves, explore social interactions, and understand things and people within a real-world context. HYPOTHESES: There is effect of task-oriented training with pretend play on gross motor function, functional capacity and cognitive function in children with hemiplegic CP. . ………………… RESEARCH QUESTION: Does task-oriented training with pretend play has an effect on gross motor function, functional capacity and cognitive function in children with hemiplegic CP?

Conditions

• Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	task-oriented training with pretend play	Pretend play: Children engage in pretend play by acting out themes, taking on roles, assigning attributes to inanimate objects, and using objects as if they were something else Props will be added to hold the child interest. Role play costumes, or occupation props (police officer's suit), stimulate pretending elements. Task-oriented training: It is involving the active, repetitive practice of functional activities to learn or relearn a motor skill. Training implies that the behavioral experiences are not just repetition of the same sensorimotor skill but involves progressive challenges to a participant's capabilities and involves tasks that are meaningful to the participant. It is based on the following principles: functional goal-directed training focus on practicing specific activities of importance to the child during daily activities; planning activity-focused interventions by adapting knowledge of motor learning ; and allowing for the interest and participation of the children.
