The current study will be directed to determine the effect of mechanical vestibular stimulation on fine motor skills and pinch strength in children with hemiparesis. Hemiplegic cerebral palsy causes problems with contraction, sensation, and muscular strength in the upper limbs, and its effective use of muscles for reaching, grasping, releasing, and manipulating objects is often compromised

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group A | Experimental | The child will receive a design exercise program. The therapy was based on the principles of NDTBobath neurodevelopmental therapy. |
|
| Group B | Experimental | The child will receive a design exercise program for 45 min then mechanical vestibular exercise for 15 mins. |

| mechanical vestibular stimulation | Other | Device produces mechanical vestibular stimulation. The child was placed in a sitting position on the swing and his hands grasping the ropes at the sides then the therapist stood behind him and begin pushing the platform in fast and jerky movements in back and front, side to side, and in spinning directions with the child trying to maintain his balance in all different directions. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| fine motor skills | We will use Peabody Developmental Motor Scale (PDMS-2) to measure visual motor integration, grasp and fine motor. | 3 month |
| pinch strength | We will use Hand Dynamometer to measure pinch strength. | 3 month |

| The design exercise program | Other | A selected therapeutic exercises program was based on the principles of NDTBobath neurodevelopmental therapy, which is effective in controlling spasticity in children with cerebral palsy and improving motor function. i. Preparation of structures and mobilizations of the scapula, shoulder joint, and chest according to the NDT-Bobath concept ii. Exercises to increase shoulder mobility and elbow joint extension. iii. Fine motor skill exercises, wrist, and hand |
