of the children before and after 3 months of intervention. t test and χ2 test were used for statistical analysis.
Results There were no significant differences in gender, age, disease type, hand function grade or risk
factors of cerebral palsy between the two groups (P>0.05). After 3 months of treatment, the grasping ability
scores of both control and study groups were signifificantly higher than those before treatment (t=-20.125,
P<0.05; t=-12.910, P<0.05). After treatment, the grasping ability scores of children in the study group were
signifificantly higher than that in the control group [(51±7) vs (41±5) points, P<0.05]. The scores of vision
motor integration ability after treatment in both groups were higher than before treatment (t=-14.795, P<0.05;
t=-8.486, P<0.05), and the score of vision-motor integration ability in the case group was signifificantly higher
than that in the control group [(90±21) vs (77±12) points, P<0.05]. The WeeFIM scores after treatment in
both groups were signifificantly higher than before treatment (t =-23.120, P<0.05; t=-16.643, P<0.05), and
WeeFIM score in the study group was signifificantly higher than that in the control group [(80±11) vs (68±6)
points, P< 0.05]. Conclusion Both routine therapy and task-oriented training can improve the upper limb
function of children with cerebral palsy between 4-6 years old, but task-oriented training is more effective
than conventional intervention in improving upper limb function and independence.
