简要总结
This study investigates the impact of treadmill training on motor function, balance, and spasticity reduction in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The study synthesizes existing research to provide insights into the effectiveness of treadmill training as an intervention for improving these key outcomes in children with Cerebral palsy
详细描述
Cerebral palsy is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired movement and posture due to non-progressive brain damage occurring before, during, or shortly after birth.this systematic review and meta-analysis comprehensively examines the effects of treadmill training on motor function, balance, and spasticity reduction in children diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP).
The review includes studies published in peer-reviewed journals, databases, and relevant conference proceedings. Inclusion criteria encompass randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, and cohort studies evaluating treadmill training interventions in children aged 2-18 years with CP. Studies utilizing various treadmill training protocols, such as body-weight-supported treadmill training, overground treadmill training, or virtual reality-assisted treadmill training, are considered.
The primary outcomes assessed include changes in motor function, as measured by standardized assessment tools like the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) or the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC). Additionally, balance improvements are evaluated using validated balance assessment scales, while spasticity reduction is measured through clinical assessments, such as the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) or the Tardieu Scale.
The review aims to provide evidence-based insights into the efficacy of treadmill training as a rehabilitation intervention for children with CP, informing clinical practice guidelines and therapeutic decision-making. The findings contribute to our understanding of the potential benefits of treadmill training in improving motor function, balance, and spasticity in this

结局指标
主要结局
Pediatric Balance scale to Measure balance
时间窗: 12th weeks study , 1st reading will be take on baseline than after 4 weeks ,8weeks & 12weeks
The Pediatric Balance Scale is a modified version of the Berg Balance Scale that is used to assess functional balance skills in school-aged children. The scale consists of 14 items that are scored from 0 points (the lowest function) to 4 points (the highest function), with a maximum score of 56 points.in his study, we assessed the effect of treadmill training on balance of CP child
