Hippotherapy Versus Swiss Ball Training to Improve Trunk Control & Balance

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To compare effect in both intervention

Clinical Trial Description

In this study we will compare the effects of hippotherapy and swiss ball therapy. Our objectives of the study are To compare the effects of hippotherapy and Swiss ball training, to improve trunk control and balance on spastic diplegic cerebral palsy Hypothesis: Alternative hypothesis: There will be significant difference between the effects of hippotherapy and Swiss ball training to improve trunk control and balance on spastic diplegic cerebral palsy Null hypothesis: There will be no significant difference between the effects of hippotherapy and Swiss ball training to improve trunk control and balance on spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. This study will include total 64 participants. Calculated by Open Epitool.64patients will be divided in to 2 groups with equal sample size through sealed envelop method. Group A will receive hippotherapy while group B will receive swiss ball therapy. Group A Intervention: The child is seat astride the horse wearing a helmet and was encouraged to perform various activities designed to emphasize movement in a forward and upward reaching and side to side direction to encourage active postural control, trunk strength, balance and trunk/pelvic dissociation.30 minutes with a frequency ranging from 4 sessions per week and the total duration of horseback riding 6 weeks .Position the child to sit on the ball and giving forward, backward and side to side movement to the child. This will facilitate trunk rotation by which the upper body is towards the weight bearing hip and away from the weight bearing hip. Training program 4 times per weeks with the treatment session of 30. Group B Intervention: Position the child to sit on the ball and giving extension rotation and flexion rotation to the child. This will facilitate trunk rotation by which the upper body is towards the weight bearing hip and away from the weight bearing hip.Training program 4 times per weeks with the treatment session of 30 minutes for 6 weeks duration minutes for 6 weeks duration. Trunk Control Will be measured by three outcome measures which include trunk control measurement scale ,gross motor function scale and pediatric balance scale. Intervention will be given for 6 weeks.Assesment will be done on baseline, after 3 and 6 weeks. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
