Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the results of intervention of pediatric constraint – induced movement therapy and bimanual intensive training for children with spastic cerebral palsy. Subjects and Methods: Prospective study, clinical trial, comparison before and after treatment on 20 children with spastic cerebral palsy receiving Pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy and bimanual training. Results: 20 children with cerebral palsy, mostly classified as MACS and Mini- MACS levels II, III,  Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) scale increased by 9.09 points after 4 weeks and increased by 14.73 points after 8 weeks. Pediatric Motor Activity Log( PMAL) “ How often scale” increased by 0.69 points after 4 weeks and increased by 1.11 points after 8 weeks, PMAL “ How well scale” increased by 0.60 after 4 weeks and increased by 0.99 points after 8 weeks. Box and block test (BBT) also increased the likelihood of moving 2.4 cubes after 4 weeks and 3.55 cubes after 8 weeks. The difference was statistically significant (p<0,01). Conclusion: Combining both methods of P-CIMT and bimanual training helps children with spastic cerebral palsy to improve hand function
