This study's goal is to ascertain how mirror treatment
affects the hand functions (fine and gross motor activity) in kids with
hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term used to describe a
range of movement and postural abnormalities that limit activity and are
thought to be the result of non-progressive disruptions in the developing fetus
or infant brain. On a female patient with hemiplegic cerebral palsy aged 5
years old, the QUEST and Box and Block tests were administered. For three
weeks, mirror treatment was used for 30 minutes a day, six days a week. The
right hand's tasks comprised grasps in the cylindrical, spherical, and hook
patterns, gripping exercises with a green therapeutic gripping gel, peg board
arrangement, peg link exercises, and item transfer. Significant variations
between pre- and post-treatment scores showed that mirror therapy affected how
often the injured hand was used for daily tasks.
