Effect of Multisensory Motor Imagery Training on Muscle Performance and Coordination in Children With Spastic Diplegia

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Spastic Diplegia; Motor Imagery

• Registration Number: NCT06676332
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

PURPOSE:

The current study aims to:

* Determine the effect of multisensory motor imagery training on muscle performance including (peak torque, work, power) of trunk and knee flexors and extensors in children with spastic diplegia.

* Determine the effect of multisensory motor imagery training on coordination, strength and agility in children with spastic diplegia.

BACKGROUND: Multisensory motor imagery training has an effect on muscle performance and coordination in children with spastic diplegia

HYPOTHESES: There will be no effect of multisensory motor imagery training on muscle performance, coordination and strength and agility in children with spastic diplegic CP.

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there an effect of multisensory motor imagery training on coordination, strength and agility in children with spastic diplegia?
