[en] Introduction: Infantile Cerebral Palsy (ICP) is a group of motor-control disorders leading to alterations in posture, muscular tone and movement due to a persistent and static non-progressive lesion that affects immature brains. Objective: The main objective of the study is to design a physiotherapy intervention program for patients with ICP focused on the upper limbs (UL) in order to improve their functionality and strength, including grip strength, active movement range, muscular tone, functional independence in daily life activities, manual dexterity and motivation in patients with ICP. We will determine the effects of the designed program on UL's functionality. Furthermore, we will determine whether an alternative program, such as "scratch" (program that allows us to create interactive games), leads to improved benefits in the aforementioned variables. Material and method: A research project is carried out, proposing the design of a physiotherapy intervention program for patients with ICP, focusing on UL. The study will be carried out with forty-six subjects, (10-18 years, with a spastic-ICP diagnosis and UL functional impairment: GMFCS: levels I – II and MASCS: levels I - III) who were assigned to either a control group (physiotherapy intervention program, focused on the use of sensory therapy) and an experimental group (physiotherapy intervention program + work through "scratch") The analysed variables and their corresponding measurement instruments (shown in brackets) are upper limb strength (MMT), grip strength (dynamometer), active movement range (goniometer), muscular tone (modified Astworth Scale), manual dexterity (MACS and ABILHAND-KIDS), independence in daily life activities (MUUL), and motivation (PACES).

[gl] Introducción: A parálise cerebral infantil (PCI) é un conxunto de trastonos do control motor que produce alteracións na postura, tono muscular e movemento, debido a unha lesión non progresiva e persistente que afecta o cerebro inmaduro. Objetivo: O obxetivo xeral do estudio é, diseñar un programa de intervención de fisioterapia para pacientes con PCI, centrado na abordaxe de MM.SS co obxetivo de mellorar a funcionalidad dos mesmos, ademáis de resultar beneficioso para mellorar a forza de MM.SS, forza de agarre, rango de movemento activo, tono muscular, independencia funcional nas AVDs, destreza manual e motivación en pacientes con PCI. Ademáis de determinar o efecto que dito programa ten sobre a funcionalidade de MM.SS, centraremos a nosa atención en determinar si un programa como o "scratch" (programa que nos permite crear xogos interactivos), consegue maiores beneficios nas variables citadas. Material e método: Realizase un proxecto de investigación, plantexando o diseño dun programa de intervención de fisioterapia para pacientes con PCI, centrado na abordaxe de MM.SS. O estudo levase a cabo con 46 suxeitos (10-18 años, diagnosticados de PCI de tipo espástica e con afectación funcional de MM.SS: GMFCS: Niveles I – II y MACS: Niveles I - III) que serán asignados a un grupo control (programa de intervención de fisioterapia, centrado na utilizando de terapia sensorial) e a un grupo experimental (programa de intervención de fisioterapia + traballo a través do "scratch") As variabres analizadas e os instrumentos de medida son: forza de MM.SS (MMT), forza de agarre (dinamómetro), rango de movemento activo (goniómetro), tono muscular (Escala de Astworth modificada), destreza manual (MACS y ABILHAND-KIDS), independencia nas AVDs (MUUL), e motivación (PACES).
