Efficacy of upper limb strengthening in children with Cerebral Palsy: A critical review

There are no coherent recommendations for strength training, based on these studies. The causes include too much variety of types of training, level of intensity and duration. All of the reported upper limb strength training studies found an increase in muscle strength. In addition, the quality of these studies was not high. More RCTs on strength training according to the official strength training guidelines are necessary to assess the impact and potential of strength training of the upper limb to improve the daily activities and participation in children with CP.
