View clinical trials related to Diplegic Cerebral Palsy.
Filter by:Cerebral palsy (CP) is a syndrome caused by a non-progressive lesion in the developing brain. Spastic diplegia cerebral palsy is a form of cerebral palsy, permanently affects muscle control and coordination. Symptoms include increased muscle tone which leads to spasticity (stiff or tight muscles and exaggerated reflexes) in the legs. Physiotherapist will come across many children with disability and it's a daily routine that providing treatment and educating parents regarding the treatment and ask them to continue at home. Family centered home program for children with disability plays a major role in their improvement. By educating and creating awareness among mother's, it can really do justice for the recovery of differently abled children. This will be a randomized control trial. Study will be conducted on 24 patients. Inclusion criteria of this study is mothers of spastic cerebral palsy children (Diplegic), Age 6-12 years, with GMFCS level II & III and mothers who are willing to spend time in giving home program and give feedback every day and should maintain continuity coming to the department. Mothers of Cerebral palsy (diplegic) children will be excluded if the children are suffering with fixed deformities and with recent surgeries involving spine and limbs. Working females more than 5 working hours are also excluded. Participants will be divided randomly into two groups. In group A, Participants will be educated thoroughly about treatment plan which includes routine neuro physical therapy aiming (Gross Motor Function & Balance). A class will be organized to educate Mothers/ Caregivers through PPT presentation, video and pictures. In group B, participants will not be educated about treatment plan, routine home plan was given once in a week. Intervention will be given for 8 weeks, 5 days a week for 45 minutes. Pre and post session Gross motor function by GMFM, balance by PBS, Quality of life by CP-QOL and parental stress by PSI will be measured.
the study is carried out to identify If there is any difference between the effectiveness of Vestibular training and Dual task training on balance in children with Diplegic Cerebral Palsy. so in this study the sample will be divided into two equal groups, each group will recieve only one type of training ( vestibular training or dual task training ) the balance of the diplegic children will be assessed before and after using HUMAC balance system and pediatric balance scale , the results will be compared between both groups and if there is one training is more effective than the other , it will be recommended most in the future treatment program.
The aim of the study is to find out the effects of Action observation therapy as compared to the traditional physiotherapy in diplegic spastic cerebral palsy patients. We will check the effects on balance mobility and cognition of patients.
Using challenging surfaces of gait training, which require constant adjustments of the body's movement patterns to maintain stability and provide different sensory and proprioceptive inputs to mimic real life situation is appropriate for children with CP. So, the purpose of the current study is to investigate the influence of surface characteristics of gait training on gait kinematics and walking capacity in children with diplegic CP.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of dynamic orthotic garment (Thera togs) on foot pressure distribution, postural control, functional performance and endurance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: forty children with spastic diplegic CP, with ages ranging from 8 to 10 years, will be assigned randomly into two groups. The control group will receive the conventional physical therapy, whereas the study group will receive the same program as the control group in addition to Thera togs. Measurement of foot pressure distribution will be performed using a pressure platform, postural control will be evaluated using the trunk control measurement scale Trunk Position Sense pediatric berg balance scale, endurance will be assessed using six-minute walk test (6MWT)
