Aktiver Komparator: selected physical therapy program
The control group will undergo a selected physical therapy (PT) program for one hour, three times weekly, over twelve weeks.
|
The program includes push-up exercises, active strength training for wrist extensors using fine motor toys, stretching for wrist and elbow flexors and pronators, weight-bearing positions from side sitting, quadruped position with active limb elevation, rolling a small ball with the affected limb, and rhythmic muscle approximation for shoulder, elbow, and wrist.

Experimental: selected physical therapy program and biofeedback
Patient will undergo a selected physical therapy program for one hour, three times a week, for twelve weeks, supplemented by a biofeedback program.
|
The program includes push-up exercises, active strength training for wrist extensors using fine motor toys, stretching for wrist and elbow flexors and pronators, weight-bearing positions from side sitting, quadruped position with active limb elevation, rolling a small ball with the affected limb, and rhythmic muscle approximation for shoulder, elbow, and wrist.
During sessions, the child sits with an arm resting on a table, with electrodes placed on the wrist extensors and forearm.
The treatment involves gradually increasing the intensity of faradic current to induce muscle contraction.
Each session lasts 30 minutes to one hour, with treatments up to three times daily, using a frequency of 50-100 Hz and a pulse duration of 0.1-1 ms, for a duration of 2 weeks to 3 months.

Assessment of muscle activity
Zeitfenster: at baseline and after 12 weeks
|
All children will be assessed using surface electromyography for wrist extensor muscles while sitting, with their upper limbs resting on a desk and utilizing three electrodes.
The ground electrode (black) is placed proximal to the others, the active electrode (yellow) is on the common extensor origin, and the connector (blue) is positioned at least 3 cm distally.
After registering new patient data, the assessment begins via a one-channel surface electromyography setup, recording maximum and mean muscle activity during wrist extension upon pressing the play button.

Assessment of upper limb function
Zeitfenster: at baseline and after 12 weeks
|
Using the short form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test, which includes fourteen selected test items, subtests 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 are administered.
The child is positioned sitting at a table.
The time taken for each task is noted as part of the proficiency evaluation.
Performance is recorded, and raw scores are converted to point scores using a conversion table.
The better result from two trials for each item is taken, and the total points from the fourteen short items are recorded in the designated area.

assessment of level of neurotrophic factor
Zeitfenster: at baseline and after 12 weeks
|
Fasting blood samples were taken in potassium-methylene diamine tetra acetic acid tubes, centrifuged for 15 minutes at 3000 rpm, and the plasma was stored at -80°C before being sent to Myriad RBM for a 190-analyte multiplex immunoassay.
Additionally, the Brain-derived neurotrophic factor enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reliably measures whole blood Brain-derived neurotrophic factor with high reproducibility.

assessment of dynamic spasticity of wrist and elbow flexors muscles
Zeitfenster: at baseline and after 12 weeks
|
Dynamic spasticity of wrist and elbow flexors muscles will be analyzed at the study's start and end.
Measurements will include resistance 1 (fast velocity movement through full range of motion to identify the point of catch), resistance 2 (passive range of motion), and the difference resistance 2-resistance 1 (dynamic spasticity component).
The Modified Ashworth Scale serves as a clinical tool for assessing spasticity, employing quantitative measurements at two speeds: slow (resistance 2) and fast (resistance 1).
