Abstract
A CP child who manifests spasticity in upper extremity, interferes with hand function and hand development. Weight Bearing promotes the development of mature arm and development of hand skills. The present study was intended to evaluate the efficacy of the inhibitive weight bearing splint for cerebral palsy patients in management of tone and hand functions. The performance of the splint was observed using EDPA scale, hand tracing and functional activity of ball play on the cerebral palsy patients. This study shows the fact that there was not only significant improvement in hand, opening but also hand use was found to be improved during the intervention period. The inhibitive weight bearing splint was found to be low cost and easy to fabricate. The modality can be used as an adjunct with neurodevelopmental therapy.
