Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Endermotherapy on Passive Ankle Range of Motion in Children With Developmental Disabilities
Children with developmental disabilities often sustain decreased range of motion in their
extremities. The decrease in flexibility may be due to neuromuscular disorders such as
spasticity or dystonia. Other causes may be imbalance in muscle strength surrounding a
joint, leading to inappropriate habitual posture. Over time, muscle contracture may result
for those muscle groups that are placed in a shortened position for an extended period of
time. The most common site of muscle contractures among these children are
gastrocnemius/soleus (lower limbs), and latissimus dorsi muscles (upper limbs). Muscle
contractures can lead to further decline in functional abilities. Therefore, it is important
to identify effective intervention strategies to enhance or maintain muscle flexibility in
children with developmental dysfunctions.
Commercially available endermotherapy device has been used to soften scar tissue following
burn injuries. The mechanical stimulation applied may also have beneficial effects on
relaxing the muscle tissue. The overall aim of the proposed study is to determine whether
endermotherapy treatment has immediate effect in improving joint range of motion among
children with developmental disabilities.
The research hypothesis is that children in the endermotherapy group will have significantly
more gain in ankle passive range of motion than those in the control group.
