Clinical Trial Summary

To determine the effects of reverse walking with and without Whole-body vibration on postural balance in children with cerebral palsy.

Description:

Current study concluded that reverse walking with and without whole body vibration were effective in improving postural balance, reach and quality of life in cerebral palsy children. However (whole body vibration+ reverse walking) provides more clinical benefits than reverse walking alone in improving postural balance, side reach and quality of life. Whereas both techniques were equally effective in improving forward reach in cerebral palsy children.

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pediatric Balance Scale;	The pediatric balance scale is the 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 (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56 points	12th week
Primary	Pediatric Reach Test (PRT) / Functional Reach Test (FRT)	The Pediatric Reach Test (PRT) is a modified form of the Functional Reach Test (FRT). The PRT measures side reaching as well as forward reaching in both sitting and standing positions.	12th week
Secondary	CP QOL-Child	The CP QOL-Child was designed to assess the quality of life of children aged 4-12 years. There are two versions, including a primary caregiver/parent report for children aged 4 to 12 years; and a self-report for children aged 9 to 12 years(10).; GMFCS level I & II GMFCS Level I	12th week
