Abstract

Cerebro-vascular disorders are among the top 10 causes of death in children, with rates highest in the first year of life. Childhood stroke is the weakness of one side of the body due to stroke during 3 months to 12 years of age. Learning or re-learning tasks are significant elements of the rehabilitation process for a child with a neurological or orthopedic impairment. Although many studies have been conducted to see the effects of ipsilateral hand training on the contralateral hand using inter-manual transfer in normal population but there is a dearth of studies to see the effect on inter-manual training of hand on skill transfer in childhood stroke patients. Hence, present research was carried out to study the effect of inter-manual transfer training of hand on skill transfer in childhood stroke in terms of motor learning.
