Therapeutic Outcomes of Task-oriented Training With Pretend Play in Children With Cerebral Palsy.
the effectiveness of task - oriented training with pretend play on gross motor function, functional capacity and cognitive function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of task-oriented training with pretend play on: gross motor function, functional capacity and cognitive function in children with hemiplegic CP.
BACKGROUND: Children with HCP experience difficulty with the motor function of the affected lower extremity. The majority of children with hemiplegia are able to walk without restrictions but more advanced gross motor skills are often affected.
Task-Oriented Training is a contemporary neurological rehabilitation technique that has the prospects of improving the quality of life of children with CP. It is a function-based, goal directed intervention that requires active involvement of the patient in a therapy that is task and context-specific, which focused on the accomplishment of functional activities and participation.
Pretend play is defined as play in which the child acts with intent that is representational. pretend play helps children learn how to express themselves, explore social interactions, and understand things and people within a real-world context.
HYPOTHESES: There is effect of task-oriented training with pretend play on gross motor function, functional capacity and cognitive function in children with hemiplegic CP.
. ………………… RESEARCH QUESTION: Does task-oriented training with pretend play has an effect on gross motor function, functional capacity and cognitive function in children with hemiplegic CP?
