Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Treadmill Training Combined With Ankle Weights on Balance in Spastic Cerebral Palsied Children.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of treadmill training combined with ankle weights on balance in spastic cerebral palsied children.
Cerebral palsy defined as a non-progressive, non-hereditary lesion of the cerebral cortex resulting in postural and motion disturbances. Spastic cerebral palsied children have deficits in the selection of appropriate sensory inputs for postural control. Balance is a complex motor skill often referred to as postural control which is the ability to maintain equilibrium in a gravitational field by keeping or returning the center of body mass over the base of support. Treadmill gait training supporting the body weight which simulates walking on flat land is prescribed in rehabilitation of spastic cerebral palsy to improve their balance or to reduce their gait disturbance. Several studies support the use of ankle weights during treadmill gait training to reinforce muscle strength and, improve the symmetry of gait while, there is no research conducted on balance in spastic cerebral palsied children. Hence, there is need to study the effect of treadmill training combined with ankle weights on balance in spastic cerebral palsied children. Fourty children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsied children (based on power analysis) from both sexes (6-9 years) will be recruited from different private pediatric physical therapy clinics. They will be divided randomly into control group (20 children) and study group (20 children). Control group will be participated in designed physical therapy program in addition to gait training on treadmill with full weight bearing without using of ankle weights. Study group will be participated in the same designed physical therapy program received by the control group in addition to gait training on treadmill with ankle weights on the affected side ankle. ;
