Summary

The hand motor functions are very important in the daily life activities, educational, and social participation of children. Losing The hand motor functions limit these activities and participation. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) or virtual reality (VR) therapy has often been preferred to improve the hand's motor functions.

Detailed description

CIMT and VR are used to improve the motor functions of the hand in cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to compare the effects of CIMT-VR use and only CIMT use on hand functions in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Hand function and performance were evaluated with the Jebsen-Taylor and Moberg pick-up tests. All evaluations were made twice; before the first therapy and after six weeks. Children with hemiparetic CP were divided into three groups randomly (Traditional techniques (TT), TT+CIMT, and TT+CIMT+VR).
