Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to describe the comparative effects of dynamic surface training and trunk targeted training in order to ensure which method is best in improving gross motor function , balance and trunk control in children with spastic cerebral palsy . this will be randomized control study which includes participants with age 5 to 10 years


Clinical Trial Description

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a well-documented nonprogressive neurodevelopmental condition commencing in early childhood and persisting throughout life. The neuromuscular deficits observed in children with CP include abnormal muscle tone that affects posture, movement, alteration of balance and motor coordination, decrease in strength, and loss of selective motor control, leading to functional limitation. Neurodevelopmental principles state that the control of movement proceeds from the proximal to the distal part of the body. The trunk being the central key point of the body, proximal trunk control is a prerequisite for distal limb movement control, balance, and functional mobility. Using dynamic surface for exercise provides proprioceptive and vestibular feedback about the position of their body segments in space with adaptive motor control response to stimuli. Standard physiotherapy based on motor-learning principle is task-specific training, which involves practice of functional movements in activities of daily living. This study aims to describe the comparative effects of dynamic surface training and trunk targeted training in order to ensure which method is best in improving gross motor function , balance and trunk control in children with spastic cerebral palsy . this will be randomized control study which includes participants with age 5 to 10 years. Data will be taken from shahida islam teaching hospital Lodhran after taking consent, techniques will be applied and data will be recorded. Assessment will be made by using pedriatics balance scale , gross motor function measure (GMFM 66) and trunk control measurement scale (TCMS) for determining balance and gross motor function and trunk stability . The collective data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 27.0 ;
