Popis: Cerebral paralysis (CP) is the most widely recognized motor disability in adolescence. Populace based investigations from around the globe report CP going from 2 to 2.5 per 1000 live births. It occurs when there is some damage to the part of the brain that controls motor function. CP is classified according to the degree of motor disability. Types of CP include monoplegia, diplegia, triplegia, hemiplegia and quadriplegia. There is no cure for this disease; however, management of symptoms is possible by using different interventions like physical or occupational therapy. Surface EMG detected at various muscles simultaneously can be used as a tool for the analysis of gait in CP children. Gait analysis is the most crucial method for treatment of the cerebral palsy patient, providing the most vital information about the abnormality of the rate of the cerebral palsy patient. Surface EMG allows assessing the activity of different muscles during walking to show coordination. Multi-scale entropy helps to extend expected single scale entropy into multi time scale by using the coarse grained technique, has demonstrated the analytical ability to examine the sEMG changes on multiple time scale during the functioning of the muscle. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of occupational therapy on the multi-scale entropy of surface electromyography (sEMG) in children with CP. The selected group of CP subjects were given OT for consecutive six sessions, and improvement in their lower limb muscles was quantified in terms of MSE. The designed study revealed that OT was sufficient for the rehabilitation of CP patient with a significant difference (p
