Current study will be randomized controlled trial. Study will be approved by ethical committee. After that informed consent will be taken and patients will be included in the study based on the inclusion criteria. Sampling technique will be simple random sampling the calculated sample sizes will be 25 in each group. All participants will be divided in two groups. One group will receive treadmill training with Weighted Ankle Cuffs and second group will receive treadmill training only. Conventional therapy will be given to both groups which include isometric, strengthening exercise and trunk exercise. The exercise was given for 10 repetitions/session. Infants will receive the treadmill training protocol about 6 min/day, 4 day/week at a belt speed of 0.18m/sec. After taking informed consent baseline measurement will be taken through gait assessment rating scale and Berg balance scale for balance and Gait parameters respectively. Data will be collected before treatment and after 6 weeks. Treatment session will be performed for 1 hour per day, 4 days a week for total of 6 weeks. The difference in improvement before and after 4th weeks will be noted and compared through SPSS 26.0.
The objective of this study is to test whether adding the parent training program using the relationship-based approach could help the children with development disabilities (DDs) would confer additional benefits over routine clinical care available to both groups in terms of improving their development and reducing behavior problems.
Surgical outcome of entropion associated with Down's syndrome was evaluated. Grading scale of superficial punctate keratopathy and score of wearing glasses to correct refractive errors were measured.
The objective of the study is to compare the usual care and treatment of children and youth (0-19 years) with multiple developmental delays and disabilities and their families in Simcoe York with a co-ordinated, navigated approach to care using the Children's Treatment Network (CTN) services.
