Recruiting

• Conditions: Cerebral Palsy

• Registration Number: NCT06721650
• Lead Sponsor: Lama Saad El-Din Mahmoud

Brief Summary

To investigate the effect of Perturbation-Based Balance Training on trunk proprioception and balance in hemiparetic cerebral palsy

Detailed Description

Thirty-eight patients with hemiplegic cerebral palsy will participate in this study.

The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected physical therapy exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Perturbation-Based Balance Training, three times per week for three months. The evaluation methods are BIODEX, The Pediatric Balance Scale, baseline digital inclinometer.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
BIODEX balance system	three months	to evaluate postural balance. The BBS is a multiaxial device that objectively measures and records an individual's ability to stabilize the involved joint under dynamic stress.
Pediatric Balance Scale	three months	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. 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
baseline digital inclinometer.	four weeks	for measuring lateral movement in applications like: Earth movement in the landslide zone. Detecting shear planes in hydraulic structures. Measuring stability during construction
