Structured Graphic Motor Therapy in Pediatric CP
Sponsor: Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture and Sport
Summary
Structured Graphic Motor Therapy (SGMT) is a novel task-oriented rehabilitation approach that uses standardized, progressively challenging drawing trajectories to improve upper-limb motor function in children with cerebral palsy. This pilot randomized controlled trial will compare SGMT combined with conventional rehabilitation with conventional upper-limb rehabilitation alone over a 16-week intervention period. Standardized clinical assessments and quantitative image-derived measures of graphical motor performance will be used to evaluate changes in motor function, visuomotor coordination, and movement quality.

Interventions
Structured Graphic Motor Therapy (SGMT)
Structured Graphic Motor Therapy (SGMT) is a therapist-guided, task-oriented rehabilitation intervention using standardized, progressively individualized graphical trajectories to improve upper-limb motor function, visuomotor integration, movement precision, and motor learning. Training incorporates repetitive practice, intrinsic visual feedback, and progressive task complexity over 16 weeks.
Conventional Upper-Limb Rehabilitation
Conventional upper-limb rehabilitation consists of active and active-assisted range-of-motion exercises, reaching, grasp-and-release practice, object transfer, forearm pronation and supination, wrist and finger exercises, bilateral upper-limb activities, and functional task practice delivered over 16 weeks.
