Abstract

AbstractPurpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of six weeks of bilateral motor trainings in mirror on the range of joint motion and gross manipulative skill in affected hand of children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy(SHCP).Methods: In this clinical trail study) IR.KUMS.REC.1398.493(, 16 children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy were divided into two groups of bilateral motor trainings in mirror group and bilateral motor training group without mirror. In addition to the usual rehabilitation program, both groups performed exercise program according to their instructions. Upper limb joints range were evaluated before and after treatment using MSD marker goniometer and gross manipulative skills assessed using box and block tests (BBT).Results: The results showed that the effect of group, effect time, effect interaction of time group in both variables of gross manipulative skill and range of motion of upper limb joints were significant.Conclusion: despite the positive effect of bimanual motor trainings on the rang of motion of the joints and gross motor skill in affected hand children with hemiplegic, but bilateral motor trainings with mirror had a greater effect that can be explained by mechanism of mirror neurons.
