The impact of task-oriented training on hand functionality in children with cerebral palsy under 18 years: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TOT can boost the manual dexterity of children with cerebral palsy, and improve their grip strength and cognitive abilities. It is also more efficacious in enhancing the functional autonomy of youngsters. It is important to highlight that certain markers of the overall sample size, such as grip strength and IQ, were featured in only three publications, resulting in inadequate statistical power. Future research necessitates further large-sample, high-quality randomized controlled trials to validate the aforementioned conclusions.
