简要总结
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of TheraTogs orthotic undergarment and strapping system on increasing axial stability that will reflect on improving balance and walking performance in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy.
详细描述
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of TheraTogs orthotic undergarment and strapping system on increasing axial stability that will reflect on improving balance and walking performance in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Forty children with dyskinetic CP will be assigned randomly into two groups (A & B). Control group (A) will receive conventional rehabilitation program for postural correction 2 hours/3 sessions weekly/3 successive months. Study group (B) will receive conventional rehabilitation program as in group (A) in addition to wearing Thera Togs soft orthotic undergarment. Patients evaluation will be carried out before and after the intervention programs to assess gait and balance performance using Noraxons myo pressure plate and Biodex balance system.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline gait parameters at 3 months
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months post-intervention
Gait parameters will be evaluated for every child at baseline and 3 months post-intervention using the Pro-Reflex motion analysis system (Qualisys; Qualisys Inc, Goeteborg, Sweden).
次要结局
- Change from baseline postural stability at 3 months(Baseline and 3 months post-intervention)
