Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Cerebral Palsy

• 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.

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).; GMFCS level I \& II GMFCS Level I
