- Brief Summary
the study aims to compare the effect of core stabalization and rebound therapy on balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy
- Detailed Description
PURPOSE:
To compare the effect of core stabilization and rebound therapy on balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy
BACKGROUND:
Cerebral palsy is primarily a disorder of movement and posture
HYPOTHESES:
There is no significant difference between core stabilization and rebound therapy on balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
RESEARCH QUESTION:
Is there a significant difference between core stabilization and rebound therapy on balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy?

Group Intervention Description core stabalization core stabilization The core stability exercises will be used for core stabilization training of group (A) in addition to traditional physical therapy. The core stability program included 3 levels. Each exercise lasted 5 min, and the children shifted from one exercise to the next after the complete performance of the preceding exercise. The first (simple) level included supine abdominal draw-in (20 repetitions), abdominal draw-in with both knees to the chest (10-20 repetitions), and supine twist (10-20 repetitions). The second (medium) level included pelvic bridging (3e5 repetitions) and twist with a medicine ball (10e20 repetitions). Finally, the third (difficult) level included bridging with the head on a physio ball (the position was held for 3-5 s, followed by a slow relaxation phase, with 10-20 repetitions) rebound therapy core stabilization Rebound exercises will be applied for group B. this group will receive rebound exercise training in addition to traditional physical therapy . Rebound exercises were conducted on a mini-trampoline and BOSU ball. Passive bouncing will be conducted while the child was standing with his/her feet a shoulder-width apart. The therapist will held the child's legs while applying upward and downward movement. The bouncing started slowly. The child then will progress to include the rebound exercises, starting with active bounce, where in a hands free manner the therapist will ask the child to speed up or slow down the bounce rate according to the child's abilities
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method balance 12 week it measures the degree of tilting for each axis during dynamic conditions and calculates a medial lateral stability index (MLSI); an anterior-posteriorstability index (APSI); and an overall stability index(OSI),
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 6 minute walk test 12 week measure endurance.
gross motor function measure-88 12 week measure gross motor function. higher scores indicate better outcome. scores are reported in percentage.
lafayette hand held dynamometer 12 week measure isometric muscle strength of knee flexors and extensors. higher scores reflect better outcome
