Abstract

Objective: Evaluation of the results of intervention on fine motor skills and constraint – induced movement therapy (P-CIMT) for children with spastic cerebral palsy at Hanoi Rehabilitation Hospital. Subjects and methods: Prospective, clinical trial, comparison before and after treatment, no control group on 30 children with spastic cerebral palsy who were treated with fine motor skills and constraint – induced movement therapy (P-CIMT). Results: The box and block test (BBT) increased by an average of 1.03 blocks after 4 weeks and by an average of 3.8 blocks after 8 weeks. Pediatric Motor Activity Log (PMAL) “How often scale” and the “How well scale” after 4 weeks both increased by 0.14 points, after 8 weeks increased by 0.44 and 0.51 points, respectively. The goal achievement (GAS) results after 4 weeks at level (0,1,2) were 13.3% and after 8 weeks was 56.6%. The difference in the above results was statistically significant p<0.01. Conclusion: The two methods of intervention for fine motor skills and constraint – induced movement therapy (P-CIMT) helped children with spastic cerebral palsy to improve hand function well.
