Effects of m-CIMT With and Without Kinesiotaping for Children With Erb's Palsy

The upper brachial plexus, a network of nerves in the neck and shoulder, is affected by Erb's palsy, often referred to as Erb-Duchenne palsy. This syndrome usually arises after labor, particularly if the baby's head and neck are pulled or stretched excessively during delivery. Erb's palsy can cause the hand and arm on the afflicted side of the body to become paralyzed or feeble. Erb's palsy symptoms can include: restricted range of motion in the injured arm. weakened hand and arm in the afflicted area, loss of feeling in the hand or arm. The effected arm is in "waiter's tip" position in which the elbow is bent and the wrist is flexed. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of modified constraint-induced movement therapy in children with erb's palsy, both with and without kinesiotaping. Convenient sampling will be the method of sampling, and the study design will be randomized control trial. There will be two groups created with n = 40 subjects each. Twenty participants will be divided into two groups: twenty for each group will receive modified constraint-induced movement therapy plus kinesiotaping, while twenty for the other group will receive modified constraint-induced movement therapy alone. The youngsters will be evaluated using the Active Movement Scale.Both at the program's baseline and after the intervention is over, data will be gathered. The course of treatment will run for eight weeks straight, meeting three times a week for an hour each time. Based on inclusion criteria, subjects from Ayesha Amir Memorial Hospital and Children Hospital Faisalabad will be chosen. Data analysis will be done using SPSS 25.00.
