Sponsor's own description
This study aims to compare the effects of two different upper extremity strengthening exercise approaches-bilateral strengthening exercises based on Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) patterns and plyometric exercises-on muscle thickness, joint range of motion, muscle strength, and functional performance in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). Although strengthening exercises targeting the affected upper limb in children with USCP have been investigated in numerous studies, to our knowledge, no previous research has directly compared the effects of bilateral PNF-based strengthening exercises and plyometric training. Incorporating PNF patterns into upper extremity rehabilitation programs has been previously recommended, and examining the efficacy of these exercises in comparison with plyometric training may contribute valuable insights to the literature and inform clinical practice.
