Effect of Plyometric Exercises on Upper Extremity Function in Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy

Effect of Plyometric Exercises on Upper Extremity Function in Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy

Plyometric training includes muscle contraction that moves rapidly from the eccentric to the concentric phase of movement while using proper biomechanics. It is an effective neuromuscular stimulus that can improve motor functions of children with CP. In plyometric training, muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power.

This is a prospective double-masked randomized controlled trial.

Inclusion Criteria:

- spastic hemiplegia

Exclusion Criteria:

- fixed deformities
