简要总结
The goal of this clinical trail is to test if kinesio-taping on lower limbs has an effect on balance and gait in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. Children in study group will have designed physiotherapy for gait and balance, the control group will have designed physiotherapy in addition to kinesio-taping on both lower limbs.
详细描述
Diplegic cerebral palsy is the most prevalent type of cerebral palsy. The main challenge for spastic cerebral palsy is gross motor dysfunction. The motor problems of spastic cerebral palsy arise fundamentally from central nervous system dysfunction, which interferes in the development of normal alignment postural control against gravity and impedes normal motor development.
Positive effects of kinesio taping for improving range of motion in patients with different disorders are reported in some of the studies. In the present study, kinesio taping along with physiotherapy treatment is considered an effective method for postural control improvement in diplegic cerebral palsy children.
Given the importance of motion and functional mobility in daily life, design and execution of accurate scientific interventions is necessary for health care systems economically and ethically.
Research on this field and accurate analysis of functional mobility, spasticity, and range of motion are rare. The main goal of physical therapy in the rehabilitation of cerebral palsy is to improve motor function and increase the ability to control movement. therefore, the present study aims to explore the effects of kinesio taping of lower limbs on gait and balance of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
