Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of spring gravity bar on gait pattern in children with spastic diplegia

Description:

The purpose of this study is to provide insight on investigate the effectiveness of vestibular stimulation on gait pattern by using spring gravity bar , when you bounce up and down it stimulate vestibular system that is considered straight line vestibular stimulation and strength extensor muscle of lower limb by pressure on spring during stance phase all that change gait stability and stride length so can improve gait pattern .

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Two dimensional gait analysis	Two-dimensional (2D) video analysis may provide an accessible and affordable means of quantifying postural control deficits that can be implemented across a spectrum of care settings. Angular joint measures during weight lifting obtained using 2D motion analysis software have been shown to be highly correlated to goniometric measures . This system has also been shown to be reliable in quantifying range of motion during reaching and walking/running tasks	20 minute
Primary	Dynamic gait index	The Dynamic Gait Index is a sensitive and efficient tool for adults and therefore may be a useful tool for children. Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) is a performance-based tool that quantifiesthe dynamic balance instability developed by Shumway-Cook and Woollacott, evaluates the ability of the individual to modify gait in response to changing functions during walking	20 minute
