简要总结
Whole body vibration has been widely used in rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities as well as children with cerebral palsy. Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of Whole body vibration on balance, gross motor function, spasticity and bone density in children with cerebral palsy. However, adding extra weight during Whole body vibration for children with cerebral palsy as a means of enhancing the potential effects of Whole body vibration is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of Whole body vibration with weighted vest on trunk control, balance and gross motor function in children with spastic diplegia.

结局指标
主要结局
Gross motor function
时间窗: three months
The Gross motor function measure-88 will be used to assess motor function in 88 items across five dimensions: (a) lying and rolling, (b) sitting, (c) crawling and kneeling, (d) standing, and (e) walking, running and jumping. dimensions D and E will be assessed in the current study The assessment of each item will be conducted carefully and scored according to the scale scoring key (scale from 0-3) with total score 100 and higher score represent better performance
Trunk control
时间窗: three months
The Trunk Control Measurement Scale is used to assess trunk control and consists of static and dynamic sitting balance in children aged 8 to 15 years with spastic CP
balance
时间窗: three months
Human computer balance system will be used to assess balance to assess center op pressure and limits of stability
