简要总结
Cerebral palsy is a group of upper motor neuron syndromes with acquired disorders of early brain development .It effects the person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. It is the most common motor disability of childhood. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation integration pattern stimulates the proprioceptors with in the muscle and tendon to enhance the performance flexibility, balance and helps in trunk mobility. The motor control movement pattern is facilitated by the dynamic and assistive active resistant progressions regaining motor control. Rebound therapy is used to facilitate movement, promote balance, helps in increase or decrease in muscle tone and promotes sensory integration.
This study will evaluate the effects of PNF techniques with and without rebound therapy on trunk control in children with cerebral palsy. It is randomized controlled trial.34 children with cerebral palsy will participate in this study. The participants will be randomized into control group A (n=17) and experimental group (n =17).Only those children will be included who fulfill inclusion criteria. That is both gender, age range 6 to 12 years, having GMFM score of I -II .Those having cognitive and learning difficulties, having age range out of 6 to 12 years. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 29. The control group will practice PNF techniques for trunk control while experimental group will practice rebound therapy along with PNF exercises for trunk control .Both group will receive 45 min session, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. TCMS and TUG scale will be used.
详细描述
Intervention
GROUP A (experimental group)
After giving baseline therapy experimental group will be given PNF based exercises for trunk control along with rebound therapy .duration will be 45 minutes, 5 session per week for 6 weeks.
PNF exercises will be;
Resist the person's concentric contraction while they move into sitting .Resist the eccentric control as they lie down. Balancing using stabilizing reversals or rhythmic stabilization to increase trunk stability .Resist the shoulder pelvis and head. For Trunk exercises: use dynamic reversals (slow reversals) and combination of isotonic to increase patient trunk strength and coordination .Resist at scapula and lifting combinations to get added irradiation. Trunk flexion and extension. Reaching forward and to the side with return, this requires hip flexion, extension ,lateral motion and rotation with the trunk remaining stable Bridging exercises Lower trunk rotation .Weight shifting in long leg sitting.

Timed Up and Go test
时间窗: 6 weeks
Timed Up and Go test (TUG) It is a performance measure designed to assess the speed of a functional walk. It included stand up, walk 3 min, turn around, walk back, and sit down .It assesses lower limb mobility and function. The TUG test is reliable and responsive measure of balance and mobility for children with CP between 3 and 10 years of age and with GMFM level I- III
Trunk control measure scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
Trunk control measuring scale TCMS: Trunk control measuring scale is highly reliable in children with various neuromuscular disorders .It is reliable for children 5 years and older. TCMS consist of static and dynamic sitting balance, the latter is divided into selective movement control and dynamic reaching. TCMS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the trunk control in children and youth with CP. The TCMS scale assesses seated trunk control in three dimensions. The maximum score is 58 points where 20 points correspond to static balance, 28 to selective movement control and 10 to the ability to perform dynamic reaching. The items are scored 0 to 3 with 0 being the inability to perform the task and 3 being the complete task performance.
