Overview
Brief Summary
The randomized control trail was to determine the effects of additional functional Strength Training on mobility in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.
Detailed Description
The aim of functional physiotherapy is to train the child by emphasizing him to learn motor abilities. These motor abilities are those that are thought to be though either by children with cerebral palsy or their parents. Functional activities are learned by the repetitive practice of goal-oriented tasks in a given functional situation. This approach instead of focusing on normality, it focuses on functionality. In this way, it is very necessary for the child to practice a given task functionally rather than normally.No studies have been done to improve mobility and strength in lower limb in children with hemiplegia cerebral palsy. So for this reason, this study is conducted to investigate the effects of additional functional Strength Training on mobility in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.In this way we can make these children an active participant of the society.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •children who didnot use the assistive device children who follow the commands children who did not treated in any other rehabilitation center
Exclusion Criteria
- •children with any other diagnosis other than CP children with fixed contractures children underwent surgery children who received Botulinum Toxin
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS)
Time Frame: Data was collected at Baseline and after 4 weeks
The GMFCS, or Gross Motor Function Classification System, is a five-level classification that differentiates children with cerebral palsy based on the child's current gross motor abilities, limitations in gross motor function, and need for assistive technology and wheeled mobility.
Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)
Time Frame: Data was collected at Baseline and after 4 weeks
GMFM is used to evaluate change that occurs over time in the gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy.
Secondary Outcomes
- Five time sit to stand (FTSST).(Data was collected at Baseline and after 4 weeks)
