简要总结
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the correlation between BMI and balance and gross motor capacities in children with spastic diplegia. The main question it aims to answer is:
Is there a correlation between BMI, balance disturbances and gross motor capacity in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy? Researchers compared between results of biodex balance system , GMFM and BMI measures participants stood on biodex balance platform for balance measurement and performed Gross Motor Function Measurement items for gross motor capacities assessment
详细描述
Spastic diplegia is the most common type of CP that results in problems with posture, balance, as well as gait control. For children suffering from spastic diplegic CP, balance problems provide a significant difficulty since they make it difficult for them to achieve and maintain balance . Additionally, they commonly demonstrate delayed development of gross motor function that has been connected to functional outcomes, such as daily living tasks . The prevalence of obesity in the CP population has risen over the last decade from 7.7 to 16.5 %. . Obesity is associated with health risks and difficulties in balance and walking. this cross-sectional-correlation study was conducted at the Outpatient Clinic at the Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University. The study included 104 diplegic children aged from 5-10 years, 53 in normal weight group and 51 in overweight group. Dynamic balance was evaluated by overall stability index (OSI) in biodex balance system and gross motor capacities (GMC) were evaluated by standing &walking dimensions in GMFM

结局指标
主要结局
BMI
时间窗: 9 months
Standardized height-weight measuring scale for measurement of weight and height, to be able to calculate BMI Growth charts were used to plot BMI and age separately for girls and boys. Then, each subject was given a percentile and put into one of two categories: normal (5th to 85th percentile) and overweight, obese (85th and above percentile).
balance assessment
时间窗: 9 months
Biodex balance system SD with movable platform was used .The overall stability index (OSI) will be measured as indicator of dynamic balance. The higher the OSI values, the lower the dynamic balance stability. Bilateral stance (standing on both legs), eyes open, stability level 5 (12 is the most stable level), and three repeated trials (for more accuracy) for 20 seconds (test time for each trial) were the test conditions
