This study design will be randomized controlled trial. Subjects will be selected for data collection from the Physiotherapy Department, Institute of Pediatric and Rehabilitation of The University of Lahore Teaching Hospital and Central Park Teaching Hospital, Lahore. Subjects will be randomly allocated into two equal groups, conventional group (group A) and an experimental group (group B). Conventional group will be receiving routine physical therapy and Experimental group will be receiving Computer application-based training and routine physical therapy. Pre and post intervention data will be taken from Gross Motor Function Classification System, Manual Ability Classification System, Mini-Mental State Examination for Children and Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test for data analysis.
This study design will be randomized controlled trial. Subjects will be selected for data collection from the Physiotherapy Department, Institute of Pediatric and Rehabilitation of The University of Lahore Teaching Hospital and Central Park Teaching Hospital, Lahore. Subjects will be randomly allocated into two equal groups, conventional group (group A) and an experimental group (group B). Conventional group will be receiving routine physical therapy and an Experimental group will be receiving Computer application-based training and routine physical therapy. Training will be given once a day, five times a week for total 8 weeks. For conventional group, the training duration for each session will be 30 minutes with 5 minutes of rest period and for experimental group, 60 minutes with 10 minutes of rest period in between. Participants in conventional group will be given routine physiotherapy which will include range of motion exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises of upper extremity, fine motor activities, functional activities, and cognitive activities (art and crafts, placing objects in specific positions, organizing objects, color sorting games, teamwork, and moving and tracing objects). Participants in experimental group will be given routine physiotherapy along with App-based training. The routine physiotherapy will be the same as given to the control group and app-based training will include multiple games with multiple levels. Pre and post intervention data will be taken from Gross Motor Function Classification System, Manual Ability Classification System, Mini-Mental State Examination for Children and Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test for data analysis. For the assessment of executive function skills, Mini-mental State Examination For Children (MMC) will be used and for motor skills, Quality Of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) will be used.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Application (ICOGNI) Training | Experimental | Apart from routine physical therapy, participants in this group will be randomized to active training after baseline assessment. Participants will be given App-based training which will include multiple games with multiple levels along with routine physiotherapy. The active group will start training immediately and will have 8 weeks to perform the 40 training sessions. |
|
| Conventional group | No Intervention | Participants in are already being given routine physiotherapy which includes range of motion exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises of upper extremity, fine motor activities, functional activities, and cognitive activities (art and crafts, placing objects in specific positions, organizing objects, color sorting games, teamwork, and moving and tracing objects). |

| Mini-Mental State Examination for Children (MMC) | Mini-Mental State Examination for Children (MMC) is an adapted version of the Mini-Mental State Examination. The Mini-Mental Examination for Children(MMC) is a widely used tool for assessing global cognitive deficits with a maximum score of 37. | 8 weeks |
| Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) | Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) is a reliable measure of gross motor upper limb functions in children with CP. This measure assesses mainly four domains: dissociated movement, grasp, protective extension, and weight bearing. | 8 weeks |
