Thirty children (13 boys, 17 girls) with hemiparetic cerebral palsy whose age ranged from four to six years participated in this study. They were classified randomly into two groups of equal number; control group (fifteen children: seven boys, eight girls) who received a designed physical therapy program directed towards improving gait pattern and study group (fifteen children: six boys, nine girls) who received the same designed physical therapy program given to the control group in addition to constraint induced movement therapy technique. Gait parameters measured from both control and study groups were evaluated by using foot print before and after eight weeks of treatment. A significant improvement was recorded in the measured variables in both groups when comparing their pre and post treatment mean values UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
