Abstract

Impairment of cognition is one of the biggest challenges for cerebral palsy (CP) survivors. Cognition could be defined as a mental process for acquiring knowledge and understanding the thoughts, experiences, and sensory process. The cognition process encompasses domains such as attention, knowledge, working memory, judgment, and logical reasoning. The study was conducted to evaluate the most effective therapy for understanding different cognitive changes in children with CP. The results obtained suggest that r-TMS is a result-oriented therapy for cognitive enhancement in the selected therapy groups. The cognitive brain training exercises were found to be the next most effective and cost-effective therapy for cognitive enhancement in brain-damaged children. These results could be employed for understanding the cognitive changes occurring in the children with CP for cognitive enhancement.
