Objective: To determine the effects of task oriented training on upper limb function of spastic and athetoid types of cerebral palsy children.
Study Design: A quasi experimental (without control group) study.
Place and Duration of Study: Campus Institute Lahore, 4 weeks of April 2019.
Material and Methods: A total of 25 patients with spastic and athetoid CP were taken by non-probability consecutive sampling for pretest and posttest from a local rehabilitation center Lahore, Pakistan. They received task oriented training for four weeks with thirty minutes session for 5 days a week along with regular physical therapy. ABILHAND-Kids questionnaire and Nine Hole Peg test were used to evaluate their performance before and after the training.
Results: The results showed significant improvement in 21 activities of ABILHAND-Kids questionnaire. Pretest and posttest measured as follow, 19.44 ± 3.52 to 24.48 ± 3.61,p-value was 0.0001. Nine Hole Peg test scores were insignificant after four weeks of practice as compared to pretest scores. The mean score measured as; 4.92 ± 2.12 to 5.44 ± 2.45, p-value was 0.067. There was significant difference in ambulatory status with GMFCS level (p=0.028) and non-significant difference in GMFCS level with Hemipretic side (p=0.168 & p=0.841), respectively.
Conclusion: The task specific training with gross motor learning in spastic and athetoid cerebral palsy has marked role in specific training of upper extremity functions.
