Clinical Trial Summary

there is no such article found who specifies the effects of sensory integration therapies like vestibular stimulation technique or developmental milestone while controlling the gender of children with cerebral palsy. So, there is a need to do more research work on this in future to find out best treatment approach for children with cerebral palsy of their respective gender. That is why this study will focus on the results of vestibular stimulation and neurodevelopmental technique while controlling the Gender distribution of both intervention groups to find out the effects of these interventions that wither, they have some influence on the participants or not.


Description:

Bobath concept of neurodevelopment in children with cerebral palsy, is a problem-solving approach to the assessment and treatment of individuals with disturbances of tone, movement, and function due to a lesion of CNS, the goal of treatment is to optimize function by improving postural control and selective movement through facilitation. But also, no study found which specifically focuses the improvements on boys and girl's ratio or their gender-based improvements of tone or developmental milestones. Different swings such as Infant Swing, frog swing, platform swing will be included as mode of Vestibular stimulation treatment. On the other side, Stimulation of vestibular system improved child's postural control and motor function in many studies.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Infant Neurological International Battery Infant Neurological International Battery ( INFANIB) is the developmental screening tool used for the assessment of neuromotor development in neonates and infants aged 1-18 months. The score of each item is mentioned in the score sheet itself based upon age and calculating total score will determine the neuromotor state of infants. 10 weeks
Primary GMFM-88 It is a Standardized Observational Instrument designed and validated to measure change in gross motor function over time in children with Cerebral Palsy. The GMFM-88 item scores can be summed to calculate raw and percent scores for each of the five GMFM dimensions of interest, selected goal areas and a total GMFM-88 score. 10 weeks
