The thumb-in-palm (TIP) pattern is one of the most common upper limb deformities in cerebral palsy (CP). This study was designed to investigate the effect of the dynamic TIP pattern on upper limb function in children with spastic CP. This prospective observational study included a total of 106 children with CP with dynamic TIP. The House TIP classification while grasping small or large objects, Melbourne Assessment of Unilateral Upper Limb Function (MUUL), Shriners Hospital Upper Extremity Evaluation (SHUEE), Zancolli classification for wrist–finger flexor deformity, and degree of swan neck deformity were assessed. Type I was the most common and highest functioning House TIP classification type. However, there were no significant differences in upper arm function between types II, III, and IV. The three components of the SHUEE showed stronger association with MUUL than House TIP and Zancolli classifications. After multivariable analysis, functional use of the wrist–finger and the thumb played a more significant role than the dynamic alignment of the thumb. In conclusion, the House TIP classification is useful to describe the TIP pattern. The SHUEE thumb assessment is a useful tool for reflecting upper arm function. The upper arm function was related more with the associated wrist flexor deformity than dynamic TIP.

Introduction: Action Observation (AO) is a multisensory approach encompassing motor, somatosensory and cognitive rehabilitation. Several Studies have proved the effects of action observation on recovery of motor functions in chronic stroke survivors. However, the effect of action observation strategy on acute stroke participants remains unclear. The objective of this study was to find out the effectiveness of action observation to improve upper limb function in acute stroke. Methods: 28 acute stoke participants were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly assigned into two groups based on computer generated randomization. Action observation training group (AO) received action observation training and conventional group received conventional physiotherapy. Both the groups received 45 minutes session per day for the total duration of 10 days. Results: Upper limb functions were measured using Fugl Myer upper limb component (FMA) and action research arm test (ARAT)at the baseline and after the intervention. Compared with the conventional training group, AO group showed significant improvement in ARAT but no significant difference between the groups in FMA. Conclusion: In conclusion Action observation treatment may become a useful strategy in rehabilitation of acute stroke participants.
