The sample comprised unilateral spastic cerebral palsy children aged 6-16 years who were having mirror movement disorder and were able to make a gross grip. The hand arm bimanual intensive training was provided to the participants for 6 hours per day for 15 days for a total of 90 hours. Comparison of baseline and post-intervention showed that the functional independence level of children had improved, with improvement in unimanual and bimanual hand performance (p less than 0.05). However, there was no improvement seen in the severity of mirror movements (p>0.05). ---Continue Downloads Full Text Article Published 2024-06-28 How to Cite Shahid, J., Mir Arif Hussain Talpur, & Hassan Rauf.
