What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Selective voluntary motor control of upper extremity
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Test of Arm Selective Control will be used to assess selective voluntary motor control of upper extremityIt was developed to quantify the extent to which children with cerebral palsy have selective voluntary motor control. It will be used to assess movement of shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, finger and thumb by using simple tools for grasp items from two starting sitting positions
6 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hand grip strength
Time Frame: 6 weeks
it will be assessed by hand held dynamometer
6 weeks
- Upper limb function
Time Frame: 6 weeks
it will be assessed by Bruinink-Oseretsky test for motor proficiency subset 7 of upper limb coordination
6 weeks
