The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of sensory integration therapy (SIT) applied in addition to neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) on Motor Function, Balance, and Trunk Control in diplegia cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is non-progressive disorder, which undergoes mishap to the developing brain and it affects a person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. Old name of CP is "Little's disease".Through social and community participation, children and youth with cerebral palsy (CP) form friendships, gain knowledge, learn skills, express creativity, and determine meaning and purpose in life. The purpose of this study is (1) to determine whether social and community participation of children and youth with CP differ based on age, sex, and gross motor function, and (2) to identify the types of activities in which social and community participation are highest
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.
The upper brachial plexus, a network of nerves in the neck and shoulder, is affected by Erb's palsy, often referred to as Erb-Duchenne palsy. This syndrome usually arises after labor, particularly if the baby's head and neck are pulled or stretched excessively during delivery. Erb's palsy can cause the hand and arm on the afflicted side of the body to become paralyzed or feeble. Erb's palsy symptoms can include: restricted range of motion in the injured arm. weakened hand and arm in the afflicted area, loss of feeling in the hand or arm. The effected arm is in "waiter's tip" position in which the elbow is bent and the wrist is flexed. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of modified constraint-induced movement therapy in children with erb's palsy, both with and without kinesiotaping. Convenient sampling will be the method of sampling, and the study design will be randomized control trial. There will be two groups created with n = 40 subjects each. Twenty participants will be divided into two groups: twenty for each group will receive modified constraint-induced movement therapy plus kinesiotaping, while twenty for the other group will receive modified constraint-induced movement therapy alone. The youngsters will be evaluated using the Active Movement Scale.Both at the program's baseline and after the intervention is over, data will be gathered. The course of treatment will run for eight weeks straight, meeting three times a week for an hour each time. Based on inclusion criteria, subjects from Ayesha Amir Memorial Hospital and Children Hospital Faisalabad will be chosen. Data analysis will be done using SPSS 25.00.
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.
PEDAL is a program that focuses on juvenile endurance and limb building for kids with cerebral palsy. Studying how PEDAL with and without Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) affects these metrics in an effort to determine whether exercise and EMS together can improve functional outcomes for young cerebral palsy patients. This research provides important new understandings into customized therapies to improve mobility in kids with this neurological disorder. On -- participants, a randomized controlled study will be carried out. The Zunnorain Foundation in Faisalabad will provide the data through the use of a non-probability convenience sampling method. This study will involve children with cerebral palsy who are between the ages of 6 and 12 and who can understand real directions, as well as those who have fair or good selective motor control. On the other hand, children who use orthotics or take oral medications, or those who have had any surgery or implant within the last year, are not allowed to participate in this study. The 22-person sample is split into two groups. Group A will get a comprehensive intervention consisting of a stationary cycle and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). . EMS will be applied to the quadricep muscles using specific parameters (frequency = 35 to 70 Hz, pulse duration = 100 μs, pulse period = 50 ms). There are two stages to the stationary cycle program: an endurance phase and a strengthening phase. Group B, on the other hand, will just get the pediatric endurance and limb-strengthening program. Warm-up and cool-down phases of this program include stationary cycle assistance. Each muscle is held for 10 seconds. For four weeks, each of the two groups will receive 60 minutes of treatment three times a week. Using the Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOALTM) Questionnaire and the time up and go test, gait and mobility will be evaluated in both groups before and after the intervention.
To determine the Effects of Mime Therapy with and without Neural Mobilization on Facial symmetry, Synkinesis and Functional abilities in Patients with Bell's Palsy. It has been proven that Mime therapy is effective on activating muscles through articulation exercises, facial expression exercises, breathing exercises and facial massages which can alleviate synkinesis, enhance facial symmetry and promote facial functional abilities. On the other hand, facial neural mobilization has recently reported as a safe and effective adjunctive therapy for patients with Bell's palsy due to the facilitation of nerve gliding in the canal impacts by reducing nerve adherence dispersion of noxious inflammatory agents and increasing neural blood supply. So, by incorporating the Neural mobilization with Mime therapy, therapist may enhance overall facial symmetry, reduce the strain on the facial muscles and alleviate synkinesis. So, it may prove to be an upgraded treatment option for clinicians.
The rehabilitation process is critical for people with disabilities, and it appears reasonable to predict that adaptive physical activity will become an important instrument for holistic development in a human rights perspective within an ecological framework. To highlight appropriate physical activity and emphasise its importance as a space for social expression while designing rehabilitation and social inclusion procedures, as well as determining what the lines are and how to approach them. Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a group of mobility and posture abnormalities caused by non-progressive interference in the growing brain. This randomised controlled trial will recruit patients using non-probability convenience sampling. Data will be gathered from the Pakistan Society of Rehabilitation Sciences (PSRD) and Behaviour and Special Education Services (BASES). Children diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy will be included. Patients will be placed into two groups: group 1 will receive an adapted physical activity program, while group 2 will receive conventional care/routine physical therapy. Both groups will receive 30-minute sessions per day, three days a week, for six weeks. The study will use pre- and post-test assessments of patients using the Manual Ability Classification Scale, Gross Motor Function Measure, Goal Attainment Scale, and Lower Extremity Functional Scale.The data will be analysed with SPSS version 25 software.
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the biomechanical factors underlying the beneficial changes in children with cerebral palsy after using individually-adapted stand-on ride-on power mobility devices (PMD). The main questions we aim to answer are: - How does the use of stand-on PMDs affect static balance in children with cerebral palsy? - How does the use of stand-on PMDs affect dynamic balance and mobility function in children with cerebral palsy? Children ages 4-6 years old with cerebral palsy (GMFCS levels II and III) will: - Use individually-adapted stand-on PMDs for three months. - Undergo tests to measure static balance, dynamic balance, and mobility function before and after the intervention. - Receive a full biomechanical assessment (kinematics, kinetics, muscle activity, gait spatiotemporal characteristics). Researchers will compare pre-intervention and post-intervention measurements to quantify improvements in balance, muscle activation, and mobility.
