The goal of this clinical trial is to To investigate the combined effect of functional electrical stimulation and mirror therapy on:Quality of life and UL function in children with hemiplegia,Their age will be ranged from 5 to 10 years. The main question[s] it aims to answer [is/are]:Does the combination of functional electrical stimulation and mirror therapy have effects on upper limb function and Quality of life in children with hemiplegia? They will be randomly assigned into two groups, control group (A) will receive physical therapy program and study group(B) will receive same physical therapy program as control group (A) in addition FES combined with mirror therapy.
The program will be applied to all children in both groups (A and B). The exercise session for one hour for each child in both groups, conducted 3times/ week for 3 successive months.
Group (B) will receive the same physical therapy program as group (A) in addition to combined FES (wrist extensors) and mirror therapy while doing specific exercises (including, grasping and release) conducted 3 times / week for 3 successive months.

| functional ability | functional ability is assesed by The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) is an interview-based tool that assesses functional abilities, level of independence and extent of modification needed for a child to carry out functional activities. Originally published in 1992 by Haley et al., it has been translated into multiple languages and developed into a computer-adaptive test called Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory-Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT). It is scored on a four-point scale: 0 - unable to perform the task
| 3 successive months. |
| Quality of Life(Qol) | Quality of life will be assessed by The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales instrument is the last version of PedsQL contain 23-items, including formats for typically developing children and adolescents 2 to 18 years old, and consists of the following: Physical functioning (8 items). Emotional functioning (5 items). Social functioning (5 items). School functioning (5 items). Each item of the instrument is scored on a 5-point scale from 0- 4 for ages 8-18, (0 = never a problem, 1 = almost never a problem, 2 = sometimes a problem, 3 = often a problem, 4 = almost always a problem) ad 3-point scale for young child self-reporting (ages 5- 7) as following (0 = not at all a problem, 2 = sometimes a problem, 4 = a lot of a problem) the large score means worst symptoms , scores are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale (0 = 100, 1 = 75, 2 = 50, 3 = 25, 4 = 0) in which high score means better condition. | 3 months |
| Range of motion | A goniometer will be used to evaluate active range of motion of wrist extension. The child will sit on chair and the examiner palpates the relevant bony landmarks and aligns the goniometer and the child moves the joint through the available range of motion. , the ROM will be measured as follow: Wristn extension: Centre the fulcrum of the goniometer over the lateral aspect of the wrist over the triquetrum and align the stabilized arm with the lateral midline of the ulna using the olecranon process and ulna styloid for reference. Align the moving arm of the goniometer with the lateral midline of the fifth metacarpal. |

| hand grip strength | Children will sit on chair with neutral shoulder adduction and rotation, 90° flexion of the elbow, forearm and wrist in neutral on arm rest and ask to carry out the movement with maximum strength while the examiner held the device. During the assessment of strength, all the children will advise to grip the dynamometer with thumb facing the fingers and fingers alongside each other and try to do their effort to assess hand grip strength | 3 months |
| hand function | The Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) is an outcome measure designed to evaluate movement patterns and hand function in children with CP. The QUEST is both reliable and valid. The QUEST was developed specifically for children with spastic CP in order to provide one of several outcome measures for a clinical trial on upper limb casting | 3 months |
