Sponsor's own description
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurologic disorder that affects motor function, balance, and posture, and spastic hemiplegia is found in about one-third of persons with CP and often leads to devastating upper limb disability. Rehabilitation interventions such as aquatic therapy and mirror therapy are commonly utilized to improve motor function and functional independence. Water therapy takes advantage of water resistance and buoyancy to relax tightened muscles, promote gross motor function, and increase muscle endurance and strength with studies showing significant improvements in motor skills as well as a reduction in spasticity in CP children, especially hemiplegic children. Water therapy can also be more enjoyable and convenient for kids, but safety has to be considered. Mirror therapy does utilize visual feedback, but to cause the movement in the paralyzed limb, and can increase hand dexterity and grip strength by stimulating the neural pathways through the illusion of movement. Although aquatic therapy has shown well-defined advantages in motor functioning and muscle tone, comparison of the efficacy of aquatic exercises and mirror therapy for hand dexterity and grip strength in hemiplegic CP has been limited, and further studies are indicated to establish their relative merits and potential complementary uses.
