简要总结

To compare the efficacy of play-based therapy versus NDT in improving fine motor skills in children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy.

Baseline Assessments (Pre-Intervention) To Establish baseline motor function, balance, and goals.

  • Standardized Tools (Conducted in Week 1):
  • Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS-2): Evaluate gross and fine motor skills.
  • Modified Ashworth Scale: Assess spasticity in lower and upper limbs.
  • Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS): Measure static and dynamic balance.
  • Parent/Child Goal Setting: Identify individualized goals (e.g., stair climbing, dressing independence).

1. Play-Based Therapy (PBT)

  • 5-Minute Warm-Up: Gentle play (e.g., rolling a ball, stretching with ribbons)
  • Building Blocks: Focus on fine motor control, bilateral coordination, and problem-solving.
  • Puzzles: Enhance spatial awareness, grip strength, and cognitive engagement.
  • Arts and Crafts: Promote hand-eye coordination (e.g., cutting, drawing) and creativity.
  • Frequency: 4 days a week, for 3 consecutive weeks
  • Intensity: Moderate effort; tasks tailored to the child's skill level (e.g., 5 piece puzzles progressing to 10-piece).
  • Time: 45-minute sessions (30 minutes active play, 10 minutes rest/reinforcement). 2. Neurodevelopmental Therapy (NDT)
  • 5-Minute Warm-Up: Light mobility exercises (e.g., Hand pumps, seated marching).
  • Resistance Bands: Strengthen upper limbs (e.g. Bicep curls, shoulder abduction, chest presses.).
  • Small Dumbbells: Improve upper body strength (1-2 lbs for shoulder/arm exercises).
  • Stress Ball Squeezes: Enhance grip strength and hand function (5-10 reps/session).
  • Frequency: 4 days a week, for 3 consecutive weeks
  • Intensity: Moderate resistance; emphasize alignment and controlled movement
  • Time: 40-minute sessions (30 minutes active exercise, 10 minutes rest/feedback). Outcome Measures
  • Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS-2): for evaluating fine motor skills.
  • Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS): To measure muscle spasticity (tone) in the limbs.
  • CHQ: To measure health-related quality of life

详细描述

To compare the efficacy of play-based therapy versus NDT in improving fine motor skills in children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Confirmed medical diagnosis of spastic diplegic cerebral palsy by a healthcare professional.
  • Children aged between 8 to 12 years old (Raipure, Kovela, & Harjpal, 2023).
  • Documented difficulties in fine motor skills, assessed by a standardized motor skills evaluation tool.
  • Ability to understand and follow instructions, with or without assistance, to participate in the therapy sessions.
  • Written informed consent from parents or legal guardians, allowing the child to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria
  • Presence of any other significant medical condition that might interfere
  • Diagnosis of other forms of cerebral palsy (e.g., hemiplegic, quadriplegic).(Raipure et al., 2023).
  • Severe cognitive impairments that would prevent understanding or participation in the therapy sessions.
  • Presence of uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., severe epilepsy, cardiac conditions) that would pose a risk during physical activity.
  • Previous extensive therapy for fine motor skills in the past 6 months, which might influence the study outcomes.
  • Lack of compliance or cooperation from the child or parents/guardians during a preliminary assessment.(Raipure et al., 2023).

All participants will be given the intervention for 45 minutes, 4 days a week, for 3 consecutive weeks.
