Correlation Between Body Mass Index, Selective Motor Control and Functional Ability in Children With CP

Completed

• Conditions: Diplegic Cerebral Palsy

• Registration Number: NCT05428865
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

PURPOSE:

To investigate the correlations between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia.

BACKGROUND:

Cerebral palsy is primarily a disorder of movement and posture

HYPOTHESES:

There is no correlation between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia.

RESEARCH QUESTION:

Is there a correlation between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia?

Detailed Description

This is an observational correlational study. SCALE will be used to assess selective motor control of lower extremity. GMFM-88 and WEE FIM will be used to assess functional ability. MAS will be used to assess degree of spasticity

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The selective control assessment of lower extremity (SCALE)	through study completion, an average of 1 year	is a tool used for assessment of SVMC in children with spastic CP.
Anthropometric measurements	through study completion, an average of 1 year	include weight (measured using a calibrated digital scale and height (measured using Harpenden Stadiometer). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight (kg)/height (m2). higher scores indicate obesity
Wee Functional Independence Measure (Wee-FIM)	through study completion, an average of 1 year	is a tool used to assess activities of daily living (ADL) in children with cerebral palsy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Gross Motor Function Classification System Expanded and Revised for CP children between 6th and 12th birthday:	through study completion, an average of 1 year	The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS E\&R) is a classification system that describes the level of gross motor function of CP children according to abilities and limitations
Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)	through study completion, an average of 1 year	For grading degree of spasticity.
