简要总结
Improving the quality of gait in the diplegic children is a major concern in the rehabilitation program. Thirty children with spastic diplegia were distributed equally into 2 groups, group A (control) and group B (study). Group A had received the traditional physical therapy program for 30 minutes and 30 minutes traditional gait training, while group B had received 30 minutes gait training with antigravity shoes in addition to the traditional exercise program for 30 minutes, percentage of stance and swing phase of gait were measured by 2 D gait analysis for children of both groups pre and after 3 successive months of treatment program, also function level of gait were assessed pre and post treatment by GMFCS .
详细描述
Thirty children with spastic diplegia, their age ranged from 6 to 8 years old, were distributed equally into 2 groups: group A (control) and group B (study) They could walk with limitation or holding on according to GMFCS (level II &III). (Palisano et al., 2008). Increased time for stance phase and decreased swing phase time was recorded when evaluated by 2D gait analysis.
Control group (A):
The children in this group had received traditional physical therapy exercise program designed for those cases for 30 minutes in addition to gait training program for 30 minutes / day, 3 times / week for 3 successive months.
Study group (B):
The children in this group received the same traditional exercise program for 30 minutes in addition to gait training program for 30 minutes using the antigravity shoes.
