Effects of CHRIST on Upper Limb Function in Children With Pediatric Stroke
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Pediatric stroke poses significant challenges due to its impact on a child's developing brain. Both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes in children can result in long-term motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments, particularly affecting upper limb function. Comprehensive Hand Repetitive Intensive Strength Training is a structured intervention model that integrates high-repetition, strength-based, and goal-oriented exercises targeting upper limb coordination and use. This study aims to explore the efficacy of CHRIST in improving upper limb function using the ABILHAND-Kids questionnaire to assess changes in manual ability. The study aims to generate pediatric-specific evidence for intensive hand-focused rehabilitation strategies.
