Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Cerebral Palsy
• Interventions: Behavioral: Gross motor training; Behavioral: Trunk targeted training

• Registration Number: NCT04995952
• Lead Sponsor: khadija liaquat

Brief Summary

In this study trunk, targeted training and gross motor function training were compared their effect on functional status, range of motion, and community participation of cerebral palsy children

Detailed Description

In this project a randomized clinical trial was be conducted to determine the comparison of gross motor training technique and trunk training therapy on balance, Range of motion and community participation in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. This study aim to compare the effects of both the treatments to improve balance, quality of life and community participation. The sample was being collected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria using a convenient sampling technique within period of 6 months. The participants were be randomly allocated in two groups' .Group A received gross motor training which included sit to stand, step up and walking for 1 hour/day/3 days a week for 3 months. Group B received trunk targeted training for 1 hour/day/3 days a week for 3 months which included treadmill walking, reaching forward to the limits of stability and specific truncal activities with vibration and proprioception. The post treatment assessments was done via early assessment of balance, goniometer, and functional mobility assessment

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Functional mobility assessment	10 minutes	It classifies the functional mobility of children between ages 4-18 years of age with cerebral palsy. The scale can be used to classify children's functional mobility, document change over time in the same child and to document change. The FMS rates walking ability at three specific distances, 5, 50 and 500 meters, (or 5, 50, 500 yards). This represents the child's mobility in the home, at school and in the community setting
Pediatric Berg Balance Scale	20 minutes	The Pediatric Balance Scale is a modified version of the Berg Balance Scale that is used to assess functional balance skills in school-aged children and children with cerebral palsy. 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.
Goniometer	10 minutes	This is an instrument which is used to measure the range of motion
