简要总结
The proprioceptive training with a therapy regime enhances the body's somatosensory input that in result changes the body to be more functional in different types of interactions. This study is dedicated to finding out how much proprioception training is helpful in gross motor function level improvement and enhances functional activities of CP children
详细描述
Proprioception plays an important role in the correct execution of efferent motor performance as 70% of cerebral palsy population have deficit in receiving somatosensory signals3. Tradition physical therapy exercises including strengthening followed by stretching etc. should be reviewed and the therapy must be more oriented to overall individual growth and development31. There is a need to push the cerebral palsy population to be exercised with proprioceptive stimulation for their maximum participation in the activities of daily life including both personal and social aspects. The proprioceptive training with a therapy regime enhances the body's somatosensory input that in result changes the body to be more functional in different types of interactions. This study is dedicated to finding out how much proprioception training is helpful in gross motor function level improvement and enhances functional activities of CP children.

结局指标
主要结局
Gross Motor Function
时间窗: 9 months
Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) is a 5-level clinical classification system that describes the gross motor function of people with cerebral palsy on the basis of self-initiated movement abilities. Higher scores indicate better improvement in gross motor functions.
