Conditions
Summary
Hemiplegia is the medical term for paralysis of one side of the body This means their shoulder; arm, hand, leg and foot are all completely paralyzed.. It results in muscular wasting on the affected side, impairs gait, reduces motor abilities, and causes instability and a loss of grasping capacity. The patient\'s quality of life is impacted by hemiplegia because it impairs brain and spinal cord functions Hemiplegic cerebral palsy is the type of cerebral palsy in which there is absolutely no use of one side of the body. This means their shoulder; arm, hand, leg and foot are all completely paralyzed. Hemiplegia in infants and children is a type of Cerebral Palsy that results from damage to the part (hemisphere) of the brain that controls muscle movements. This damage may occur before, during or shortly after birth. The term hemiplegia means that the paralysis is on one vertical half of the body.

Interventions
Comprehensive Hand Repetitive Intensive Strength Training and Routine Physical Therapy 60 minutes per session, three sessions a week, at a total of 30 sessions per ten weeks. Comprehensive hand repetitive intensive strength training included treadmill training for the upper limb with body weight supporting the using upper limb. The posture of an arm swing was to maintain the joints of the elbows and wrist as much as possible, and the shoulder joint was allowed to be flexed by 160 degrees .The posture of the arm stance supported the weight using metacarpal heads, hands, and elbows, and the shoulder joints were allowed to be flexed by 90 degrees.
Received 60 minutes per a session, three sessions a week, at a total of 30 sessions per 10 weeks by creating a home program, which consisted of a total of 8 exercises that enhanced the muscular strength of the upper limb including the triceps brachii and extensor carpi radialis, and conveyed an effect of reaching the muscles out. flexion and extension muscle strengthening with towel, hand grip and wrist extension muscle strengthening This exercise consisted of shoulder extension muscle, elbow flexion muscle, shoulder abduction muscle, and elbow extension muscle strengthening with a thera band, as well as hand grip, forearm with a velcro board, wrist extension muscle strengthening with sandbag and shoulder abduction-extension muscle strengthening with a thera band.
