Plyometric training includes muscle contraction that moves rapidly from the eccentric to the concentric phase of movement while using proper biomechanics. It is an effective neuromuscular stimulus that can improve motor functions of children with CP. In plyometric training, muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power.
This is a prospective double-masked randomized controlled trial.

Upper extremity function
The quality of upper extremity skill test is used to measure the motor function with maximum score 100% with higher score reflects better performance.
Time frame: after 3 successive months
Hand grip strength
The hand held dynamometer was used to assess grip strength and recorded in kilogram.
Time frame: after 3 successive months
Selective motor control
Test of arm selective control was used to measure selectivity of upper extremitywith total score for each upper extremity is 16.
Time frame: after 3 successive months
