Brief Summary: A nonprogressive injury to the growing brain cerebral palsy can impair a childs speech intellectual ability and motor development The kind of impairment will correspond with the affected brain region Cross education is the process of improving ones strength or skill on the contralateral limb after undergoing unilateral training or practice This is typically done with a mirror which activates the mirror neuron on the ipsilateral side CI or Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy CIMT is a rehabilitative strategy It is intended to help people affected by stroke or other neurological problems utilize an affected extremity more functionally It restrains the limb that is neurologically stronger while applying mass practice concepts It has also been described as a behavioral approach to neurorehabilitation with a focus on shaping as a recurring theme and it uses basic behavioral approaches The studys objective is to ascertain how cross-education using mCIMT affects cerebral palsy that is hemiparetic

The Pakistan Society for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled Lahore PSRD Rising Sun Institute for Special Children DHA and ARK campus Lahore will all provide data for the present study which is a randomized controlled experiment Twenty-two volunteers will be randomly assigned to two equal groups for the study Children with hemiperatic cerebral palsy aged 6 to 12 of any gender who have up to 20 degrees of wrist extension 10 degrees of thumb abduction and up to 10 degrees of finger extension are eligible to participate in the study Exclusion criteria included significant shoulder subluxation uncontrolled systemic hypertension prior stroke severe heart failure and a mini mental state evaluation score of less than 24 The control group will receive conventional physical therapy whereas the experimental group will receive cross-training using mCIMT and RPT Result The results before and after the intervention will be analyzed using the Fugl Meyer Upper Extremity Scale and Upper Extremity Functional Index Scale Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test and Block and Box manual Dexterity Test Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS version 2300
Detailed Description: Group A

For ten weeks Group A will follow the mCIMT Protocol which entails 30 minutes of one-on-one therapy three days a week and five hours a day weekdays of constraint

In addition the student will receive extra cross-education which will involve practicing reaching tasks wrist flexion and extension and non-paretic hand opening and closing for 30 minutes Activities include building a tower out of cubes in various colors sorting cubes of similar colors and forms together square cubes in a column cylindrical cubes together gripping a hammer and various cube and triangular shapes putting balls in their column placing various-sized circular forms in their proper locations and moving items between both hands 18 Well utilize weight cuffs for every activity

Group B

For ten weeks Group B will follow the mCIMT Protocol which entails 30 minutes of one-on-one therapy three days a week and five hours a day weekdays of confinement
