Pediatric Patients With Hemiplegia: A Systematic Review of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

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.
