Brief Summary

To determine the clinical efficacy of auditory cueing using a cross over design to investigate whether increasing auditory cueing frequency by 20% above self paced cadence affects gait parameters in children with Cerebral Palsy when performing a functional task.

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy; Children

Keywords

Auditory Cueing; Gait

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Step Length as Measured by the Gaitrite Walk-way System.

  The Gaitrite is a portable gait analysis walk-way system that enables the temprospatial measures of gait to be recorded. The temprospatial measure of length was recorded in centimetres.

  Data was collected at a single time point for each condition. Conditions occurred within a two week time period.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Velocity as Measured by the Gaitrite Walk-way System.

  Data was collected at a single time point for each condition. Conditions occurred within a two week time period.

• Step Time as Measured by the Gaitrite Walk-way System.

  Data was collected at a single time point for each condition. Conditions occurred within a two week time period.

• Cadence as Measured by the Gaitrite Walk-way System.

  Data was collected at a single time point for each condition. Conditions occurred within a two week time period.

• Time Spent in Double Support as Measured by the Gaitrite Walk-way System.

  Data was collected at a single time point for each condition. Conditions occurred within a two week time period.

• Time Spent in Single Support as Measured by the Gaitrite Walk-way System.

  Data was collected at a single time point for each condition. Conditions occurred within a two week time period.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 5 Years - 11 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)

You may qualify if:

• Children with Cerebral Palsy aged 5 to 11 years old who were scored as levels 1 to 2 on the Gross Motor Function Classification Scale.
• Cognitive status average or above on the Weschler Intelligence Scale for children.
• Able to hear without the use of a hearing aid.

You may not qualify if:

• Hearing impairment that results in the use of a hearing aid.
• Walking with assistance of a mobility aid.
• Cardiovascular problems or other associated health problems which limits the child waking multiple times over the GAITRite®.
