What this Trial Is About
A non-progressive condition that harms the developing brain both during and after birth is cerebral palsy (CP). It is a multifaceted syndrome marked by abnormalities in movement and posture, along with concomitant sensory-motor, cognitive, and behavioral impairments and seizures. CP can be divided into three types based on neurological classification: spastic, athetoid, and ataxic, impairments in motor skills and posture are hallmarks of cerebral palsy. Various strategies have been employed in motor skill improvement interventions. One of them, mirror-mediated treatment, works by stimulating mirror neurons in a specific region of the brain cortex. Mirror-mediated therapy involves the patient observing movement of his or her own limb reflected in a mirror, which activates mirror neurons. The application of mirror treatment improved gait capacity by elevating physical perception and balance ability. The purpose of the study will be to evaluate the effects of mirror therapy in lower limb hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
