Detailed description

Both CCIMT and MCIMT are effective treatments to improve quality of life of children with CP. However conflicting evidence is present on which one of these is more effective and no final conclusion can be made to date. This study intends to add to the literature and contribute in reaching final conclusion about the superiority of either intervention. The purpose of this study was to see the psychosocial effect (quality of life) of CIMT and its modified form on HCP
