Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

A study conducted in 2020 on diplegic CP patients. The action observation training group repeatedly practiced the action with their motor skills, while the control group practiced conventional physical therapy. Results suggest that action observation training is both feasible and beneficial for improving spasticity, gross motor function, and balance in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. One of the researcher evaluated the evidence of using Action Observation Therapy in the rehabilitation of children with Cerebral Palsy. It was Systematic review with meta-analysis. No evidence of benefit had been found to draw a firm conclusion regarding the effectiveness of action observation therapy in the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy due to limitations in methodological quality and variations between studies. Some also, investigated the effects of VR-based intervention by means of active videogame on self-concept, balance, motor performance and adaptive success in children with CP. They concluded that VR-based intervention might interfere with the way children with CP perceive themselves, apart from improve their balance, motor performance and adaptive success. Thus VR-based intervention is a potential tool to assist rehabilitation professionals to improve these aspects of children's health condition. Similarly, A study concluded that Action observation therapy is beneficial in rehabilitation of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. A study concluded that action observation along with gait training provides greater benefits for gait and cognitive performance in elderly with MCI. According to a scientist action observation therapy is effective and feasible for functional mobility in rehabilitation processes. A researcher in his study action observation therapy is more effective in improving upper limb movements and functions. There are various studies on movement observation training but most of them are related to restoring the upper limb function of stroke and cerebral palsy patients, and studies on the mobility, cognition, and balance in cerebral palsy for movement observation training are sparse so this study will contribute in examining improvements in rehabilitation of children with diplegic cerebral palsy by demonstrating the effects of action observation training and conventional therapy for the treatment of mobility, cognition, and balance. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
