Hand arm bimanual intensive therapy (HABIT), spastic cerebral palsy, fine motor function

ABSTRACT TO FIND OUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HAND ARM BIMANUAL INTENSIVE THERAPY (HABIT) ON IMPROVING FINE MOTOR FUNCTION IN CHILDREN WITH SPASTIC CEREBRAL PALSY Objectives of the study: The main objective of the study is to determine the effect of hand arm bimanual intensive therapy on improving fine motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods : Thirty children clinically diagnosed with spastic bilateral hand dysfunction were taken in the study and given treatment. Treatment duration for one session is 40 min five days per week for 6 weeks. Patients are selected by random sampling method and are taken from Department of paediatrics, Narayana medical college and hospital. Results: The Result of this study shows that Hand arm bimanual intensive therapy (HABIT) is effective in improving fine motor function performance scores (p<0.5) in children with spastic cerebral palsy which was measured by PDMS scale.This Study also shows that reduce in Spasticity which was measured by modified by Ashworth scale (Bohannon & Smith). Conclusion: In this study patients with spastic cerebral palsy showed improvement in fine motor function after using the hand arm bimanual intensive therapy (HABIT)intervention. As patients are advised to perform task-oriented activities like grasping, holding, removing pegs, fine motor skills were improved. The study was for 6 weeks spasticity showed to be reduced with improved grip. Using modified ashworth scale spasticity was checked and PDMS is used to check fine motor function. Keywords : Hand arm bimanual Intensive therapy(HABIT), Spastic Cerebral Palsy, Fine Motor Function.
