简要总结
This study was conducted to find out the Effects of Neurodevelopment therapy (a rehabilitative program designed by Bobath) on Gross Motor Function and Postural Control in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy. To investigate either there was a significant difference between the effects of neurodevelopment therapy and routine physical therapy on gross motor function and postural control in children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy.
详细描述
A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Department of pediatric rehabilitation, Sher e Rabbani Hospital, Sheikhupura. Sample size was 66 and purposive sampling technique was adopted to collect data. Sample selection was completely based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. A diagnosed Spastic Cerebral Palsy patient aged 2-6 years with no other severe abnormalities such as seizure were recruited. While patients with mental retardation or undergone medical procedures likely to affect motor function such as botulinum toxin injections, orthopedic remedial surgery were excluded. Data was collected at baseline, 4th, 8th and 12th week of the treatment sessions. Gross motor function measure scale (GMFM-88) and posture and postural ability scale (PPAS) were used as data collection tools.

结局指标
主要结局
The Posture and Postural Ability Scale (PPAS)
时间窗: 12 weeks
The Posture and Postural Ability Scale (PPAS) is a 7-point ordinal scale for the assessment of postural ability in standing, sitting, supine and prone. There are six items for assessment of quality of posture in the frontal plane and another six items in the sagittal plane
Gross Motor Function Scale (GMFS)
时间窗: 12 weeks
The Gross motor function scale (GMFS) is a standardized observational instrument designed and validated to measure change in gross motor function over time in children with cerebral palsy. The scoring system of the GMFM is a four-point scale divided into five categories lying and rolling; sitting; crawling and kneeling; standing; walking, running
