Hemiplegia is the medical term for paralysis of one side of the body. 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. Consequently, a range of therapeutic options, including physical therapy, medical health management, and other multidisciplinary care, are accessible. The effects of treatments on juvenile patients with hemiplegia who are participating in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) are examined in this systematic review. Using the Boolean operator "AND," the research process entailed searching for keywords like "Hemiplegia" and "Pediatrics." Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of six RCTs were included in the study. According to the study's findings, hemiplegic patients benefited from Kinesio taping (KT), botulinum toxin type-A (BoNT-A), hyaluronic acid injections, and bimanual treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
