- Conditions
- Cerebral Palsy

- Other: Reverse Walking+Baseline treatmentOther: Whole Body Vibration + Reverse Walking+Baseline treatment
- Registration Number
- NCT05763212
- Lead Sponsor
- Riphah International University
- Brief Summary
To determine the effects of reverse walking with and without Whole-body vibration on postural balance in children with cerebral palsy.
- Detailed Description
Current study concluded that reverse walking with and without whole body vibration were effective in improving postural balance, reach and quality of life in cerebral palsy children. However (whole body vibration+ reverse walking) provides more clinical benefits than reverse walking alone in improving postural balance, side reach and quality of life. Whereas both techniques were equally effective in improving forward reach in cerebral palsy children.

Group Intervention Description Reverse Walking+Baseline treatment Reverse Walking+Baseline treatment Conventional treatment was given then received Reverse Walking Training which was provided for 7 min per set, with approximately 3 min of inter-set rest, for a total training duration of 60 min/day, 3 days/week for 3 successive months . Whole Body Vibration + Reverse Walking+Baseline treatment Whole Body Vibration + Reverse Walking+Baseline treatment Conventional Physical Therapy Treatment was given as a baseline treatment which includes Stretching, Range of motion exercises, and Strengthening exercises) performed for 10 min. Reverse Walking Training which was provided for 7 min per set, with approximately 3 min of inter-set rest, for a total training duration of 30 min/day, 3 days/week for 3 successive months After that Group received Whole Body Vibration including three vibration sessions per week for three months. The participants have to carry out each set of vibration for 2 min in the first month, and then it was increased to 3 min in the second and 5 min in the third month. The rest period between each set was 1 min in the first month, then it became half a minute in the second and third month. Total training duration is 30 min/day, 3 days/week for 3 successive months.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pediatric Reach Test (PRT) / Functional Reach Test (FRT) 12th week The Pediatric Reach Test (PRT) is a modified form of the Functional Reach Test (FRT). The PRT measures side reaching as well as forward reaching in both sitting and standing positions.
Pediatric Balance Scale; 12th week The pediatric balance scale is the modified version of the berg balance scale that is used to assess functional balance skills in school-aged children. The scale consists of 14 items that are scored from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56 points
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method CP QOL-Child 12th week The CP QOL-Child was designed to assess the quality of life of children aged 4-12 years. There are two versions, including a primary caregiver/parent report for children aged 4 to 12 years; and a self-report for children aged 9 to 12 years(10).
