Clinical Trial Summary

CP is a disorder of movement and posture due to damage to brain during early development of child. It is one of most common neurological related disorder in world. Its effect postural issue, motor and balance problem and seizures. In spastic cerebral palsy, life quality and gait disturb due to muscular stiffness. Shock wave therapy will be used, it works on electromagnetic principle. It reduce spasticity and improve life quality. This study explain the affectedness of electromagnetic shockwave on hamstring flexibility and shock wave in spastic cerebral palsy. Randomized controlled trial will be conducted on thirty-two cerebral palsy children in Punjab Special School. Spastic Diplegic CP children with GMFCs level III, IV, V with age range of 6 to 12. These children have limited range of hamstring muscles.. Assessment will be measured Pre and Post treatment by goniometer of crouched gait in standing and lying on couch. Crouched gait will be measured by Knee flexion in standing and lying. To measure hamstring flexibility ROM of knee extension is measured with 90 flexion at hip joint. Spasticity in this study will assessed by GMFM-88 and modified ashworth scale.


Clinical Trial Description

Shortwave therapy, stretching and orthotics will be provided to Group A. Shock wave session will be provided for 20 minutes thrice a week. Five days, five minutes with 30 seconds sustained stretch will be provided and than orthotics will be used to obtained the sustained effect. In Group B spastic diplegic children just given stretching with strengthening and orthotics. We provide sustained 30 seconds stretch with 30 seconds rest for 5 minutes and followed with forty repetition of hip flexor and knee flexors and range will be maintained by applying orthosis. ;
