Interventions
modified constraint induced movement therapy (mCIMT)
Restraint the involved extremity by using a mitten. Repetitive task practice i.e filling a glass, drinking a glass of water, and eating with a spoon , stacking cones and stacking blocks, grasping and releasing of an object, reaching forward and sideways, lifting and dropping of an object from the one end of table to the other end. The shaping exercises included cube stacking, card turning, throwing balls into a box, grasping/holding and placing objects of different sizes, and drawing and painting exercises. Intervention: 5 sessions per week for 50 minutes for 6 weeks
conservative treatment
