简要总结

A postural perturbation refers to unexpected change in conditions that upsets the body's harmony and displaces its posture. These perturbations can be sensory in nature, such as vestibular perturbations resulting from electrical stimulation, visual perturbations caused by a moving room or graphical images, or somatosensory perturbations caused by muscle vibrations. The body's reactions to these sensory perturbations may be based on the perception of instability rather than actual imbalance. Trunk control plays a vital role in various aspects of daily life, including balance, walking, and overall functional abilities. Children with cerebral palsy (CP), who experience limitations in their ability to move, often expend more energy compared to their healthy peers.

详细描述

This study will be randomized clinical trial used to compare the effects of Perturbation and trunk control training in children with Cerebral Palsy. Subjects meeting the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using lottery method. Pre-assessment will be done using Berg balance scale, functional Independent measures and TUG test as objective measurements. Subjects in one group will be treated using Perturbation therapy and the other one will be treated with Trunk control training. Both groups had three treatment sessions per week, for 4 weeks, and the total time for every session was about 30-45 minutes. A postural perturbation refers to unexpected change in conditions that upsets the body's harmony and displaces its posture. These perturbations can be sensory in nature, such as vestibular perturbations resulting from electrical stimulation, visual perturbations caused by a moving room or graphical images, or somatosensory perturbations caused by muscle vibrations. The body's reactions to these sensory perturbations may be based on the perception of instability rather than actual imbalance. On the other hand, "mechanical perturbations" physically displace the body segments, potentially leading to a shift in the overall center of mass or actual imbalance. Even small displacements of a single body segment, like the head, can elicit minor muscle responses throughout the body

结局指标

主要结局

Pediatric Berg balance scale (PBBS)

时间窗: 6weeks

BBS is 14 Item rating 5-point ordinal Scale, used to evaluate the balance in elderly population and other neurological conditions. It is easy to administer and doesn't require specialized training and takes 15- 20 mins. The maximum scoring in BBS is 56.

Functional Independent Measures (FIM

时间窗: 6weeks

The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) provides a seven level ordinal scale for measuring functional performance on 18 activities considered essential for daily living. In routine practice, the scores on the individual activities are usually summed giving a total FIM score that ranges from 18 to 126.

Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT)

时间窗: 6weeks

It is prognostic test to assess mobility and to identify the individuals with a risk of fall. TUG is time performance of getting up from chair, walking 3 m, turning around and walking back to sit down again. Timed Up and Go test is recommended by American Geriatrics Society, British Geriatric Society for screening risk of falls. An older who takes more than 12 seconds to complete the TUG is at the highest risk for falling
