Cognitive Sensory Motor Training Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
The current study will be randomized controlled trial, data will be collected from Central Park Teaching Hospital. The study will include 32 participants equally divided into two groups and randomly allocated. Inclusion criteria for this study will be consist of diagnosis with cerebral palsy, age 6-12, ability to participate in cognitive sensory motor training therapy, stable medical condition, and informed consent from parents/guardians. Participants with severe cognitive impairments, unstable medical condition, history of spinal cord injury or deformity, diagnosis with other neurological conditions, and visual or hearing impairments will be excluded from the study.. The Experimental group will receive Cognitive Sensory Motor Training Therapy and Routine Physical Therapy, while the Control group will receive Routine Physical Therapy.Cognitive Sensory Motor Training Therapy (CSMT) for 35 minutes, five times a week, over 12 weeks. Data collection will be done before and after the interventions.Outcome measures will include the dexterity, and upper limb function.Tools used for data collection will be Action Research Arm Test and Box and Block Test. Data analysis will utilize SPSS version 25.00.

Interventions
Cognitive Sensory Motor Training Therapy
Cognitive Sensory Motor Training Therapy (CSMT) for 35 minutes, five times a week, over 12 weeks. Cognitive exercise therapy combines spatial and tactile tasks to improve cognitive function, focusing on perception and sensory awareness. Participants completed 5 tasks, customized to their recovery progress.
conventional occupational therapy
Participants received conventional occupational therapy, consisting of many purposeful kinetic activities such as skateboard-supported arm-sliding exercises on a tabletop, picking up a ball and putting it into a basket, bi-manual placing cone, shoulder curved arch, double curved arch, arm bicycling, donut on base, putty kneading, block stacking, peg board exercise, graded pinch exercise and plastic cone stacking. Therapists could offer passive, active-assistive or active training, as deemed appropriate to the patient's ability
