Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Static balance is the ability to hold the body in a specific position and posture, while dynamic balance is the ability to maintain balance while moving. Vision, somatosensation, vestibular, and hearing are integrated to achieve balance Ethical committee approval will be obtained. A written consent will be taken from all subjects in the language best understood by them, after fulfilling the inclusion criteria, Patients age 10-14 years will be recruited through Randomized Clinical trial in which convenient sampling technique will be used. Group A 17 participants will receive Pilates training and group B 17 participants will receive balance Proprioception exercises. Pediatric balance scale and Lower Extremity Functional scale will be used .The result after statistical analysis will either show both treatments equally effective or not. Data will be calculated before and after treatment with the help of outcome measure tools.

Clinical Trial Description

Static balance is the ability to hold the body in a specific position and posture, while dynamic balance is the ability to maintain balance while moving. Vision, somatosensation, vestibular, and hearing are integrated to achieve balance. Various strategies are available in physiotherapy for addressing imbalance. Pilates and other balance proprioception exercises may be used as part of a treatment plan, albeit this may vary depending on the etiology of the imbalance. Patients age 10-14 years will be recruited through Randomized Clinical trial in which convenient sampling technique will be used. 34 Participants will be included in this study. Group A 17 participants will receive Pilates exercises, after the initial evaluations, the individuals in the Clinical Pilates training group will be informed about the definition, goals and benefits of clinical Pilates, will be familiarized with the exercises and how to use the five key elements of clinical Pilates (head-neck location - shoulder location - chest cage location - central focus [neutral position] - how they should preserve and maintain breathing) and group B 17 participants will receive balance Proprioception exercises on balance board with different exercises. Pediatric Balance Scale and Lower Extremity Functional scale will be used. The result after statistical analysis will either show both treatments equally effective or not. The results will be analyzed on SPSS. ;
