Brief Summary   The proposed  orthoses, which is an augmenting exoskeleton, to assist limb movements will be developed by Dr Neelesh Kumar and team in colloboration with PGIMER. Eligible children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy will be screened and enrolled for participation in the study. Informed consent from parents will be obtained. 10-15 children will be studied. This will be a feasibility study. Effectiveness outcome measurements as improvement in function of upper limb will be assessed. Acceptability of provided orthoses will also be assessed.
