Task‐oriented game therapy enhances upper extremity functions for children with cerebral palsy.
Background: This study aimed to compare the Fruit Ninja® game (FNG) therapy combined with standard physiotherapy (PT) to standard PT with sham‐FNG therapy in children with Cerebral palsy (CP) in terms of hand functions, grip strength, and range of motion (ROM). Method: Twenty children with CP were r...

Method: Twenty children with CP were randomized to the experimental group (EG) and the sham group (SG). Both groups received standard PT for 45‐min sessions, three times a week for 6 weeks. The EG additionally performed FNG training for 20‐min sessions, three times a week for 6 weeks. The SG watched the FNG demonstration video and tried to perform the movements on a flat table by tracking the video for the same duration as the EG. Results: All baseline values were comparable (p > 0.05). The post‐trial within‐group analysis showed significant improvements in some variables (for EG: dominant‐hands' grip strength, wrist extension, and radial deviation, non‐dominant‐hands' ulnar deviation, and both hands' 9‐HPT score, Box and Block test (BBT) score, and wrist flexion; for SG: dominant‐hands' grip strength and ulnar deviation, and both hands' BBT score; for all, p < 0.05) in both groups. EG showed statistically significant improvement in hand functions compared to SG (for all; p < 0.05). Conclusion: The FNG therapy offers beneficial results for hand functioning in the rehabilitation of children with CP. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
