Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to find the comparison of task oriented activity based neurodevelopmental principles and gross motor task training on balance, trunk control and functional mobility in children with cerebral palsy.


Clinical Trial Description

Cerebral palsy (CP) being a non-progressive neurodevelopmental condition, is the leading cause of chronic disability in children, making them physically and mentally handicapped and socially unapproachable. The low tone of the torso also causes postural instability, lack of mobility, and muscle stiffness in the legs. Therapeutic intervention for children with cerebral palsy should be composed of goal directed, functional, and meaningful activities by considering the clinical type, degree of disability, cognitive level and interest of the child. 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. Since children with cerebral palsy show damage not only in the function and an ability to accomplish tasks, but also in the quality of movement. The objective of this study will be to help clinicians regarding the effectiveness of task-oriented training and gross motor functional training for children with cerebral palsy. This will be a Randomized Clinical Trial in which participants of age 5 - 12 years with cerebral palsy will be assigned randomly for the study. Population will be taken from Physical Therapy Department of Agile Rehabilitation Complex, Bahawalpur. After taking consent, demographics including age, gender and birth history etc. will be recorded. Questionnaires will be distributed among parents and their responses will be collected. Questionnaires for trunk impairment scale, postural assessment scale, pediatric balance scale and GMFM-88 will be used as tools of assessment. The collected data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 27.0. ;
