Whole Body Vibration for Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is to investigate the effect of whole body vibration in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy on range of motion of shoulder, elbow and wrist and muscle strength of shoulder abductors and flexors, elbow flexors and extensors, wrist extensors and flexors.

Clinical Trial Description

Studies show efficacy of whole body vibration in reducing spasticity, improving strength, balance, ankle dorsiflexion angle and gait parameters in post stroke and spinal cord injury patients improving posture and balance in patients with Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Although research suggests a positive influence of vibration on motor performance in individuals with neurological disorders, there are very limited numbers of studies in children with cerebral palsy. Few Studies Have Shown improvement in children with cerebral palsy: spasticity decrease as measured by isokinetic dynamometer. Strength of muscles increase as measured by hand held dynamometer. Motor function increase as measured by Gross Motor Function Measure and Gross Motor Function Classification Scale. Increase of the activation and the co- activation of biceps and triceps. Vibrations increase bone mass and muscle strength in upper limbs. Vibration therapy decreases spasticity and improve motor performance in children with cerebral palsy. Reduce flexors spasticity and improve functions in the rehabilitation of upper limb spasticity. Focal muscle vibration on triceps brachii muscle can reduce the spasticity for both elbow and wrist joint muscles. So in this study, the investigators are trying to implement an additional rehabilitation method for upper limbs in hemiparetic children to improve their upper limb range of motion and strength which will reflect an improvement in their upper limb functions and activities of daily living. ;
