This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing two different therapy approaches—Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy and Mirror Therapy—to see which one works better at helping children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (a condition affecting one side of the body) improve their grip strength, hand dexterity, and muscle tightness. Both therapies are delivered alongside regular physical therapy in short, focused sessions. The trial will measure which approach helps children regain more hand function and control.
Children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy often struggle with weakness and stiffness in one hand, which limits daily activities like writing, eating, and playing. This trial exists to find out which specialized therapy method works best to help these children regain better hand strength and control, so that families and therapists can choose the most effective treatment.

If you join this study, your child would attend therapy sessions five days a week for six weeks, with each session lasting 30 minutes. During this time, your child will receive one of two specialized therapy approaches—either Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (which encourages use of the weaker hand) or Mirror Therapy (which uses a mirror to create the illusion of normal movement)—along with regular physical therapy exercises. Before the therapy starts and again after the six weeks end, your child will have simple tests to measure hand strength, coordination, and muscle tightness.
