Effects of Mirror Neurons Stimulation on Motor Skill Rehabilitation in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Thammasat University·interventional·Posted Dec 29, 2010·Updated Dec 18, 2017

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating The mirror neurons stimulation based VCD program and The conventional physical therapy for Children With Spastic Diplegia, Between the Ages of 2 to 10 Years and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Level I,II and III. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This study aimed to develop Video Compact Disc (VCD) program that applying the concept of imitative learning with mirror neurons stimulation on standard rehabilitation technique in children with cerebral palsy. The author will also examine effectiveness of the program by compare the motor function measured by the gross motor function measure (GMFM-66) between conventional physical therapy and the mirror neurons stimulation based VCD program for six months.

Interventions

The mirror neurons stimulation based VCD programprocedure

The children receive the mirror neurons stimulation based VCD program and practice at home three times a day for six months.

The conventional physical therapyprocedure

The children were randomly assigned to receive the conventional physical therapy for six months. Both experimental and control groups were measured their motor functions with GMFM-66 by an independent pediatric physical therapist who was blinded for treatment allocation at entry, the second month and the sixth month.
