Brief Summary

The main outcome of physical therapy interventions is the progress of gross motor functions which result from the interactions between many factors not limited to physical, medical or surgical interventions but also including child characteristics and socializing agents. Aim of the study: To determine the effect of socioeconomic status (SES), child characteristics (age, sex, severity, and type of cerebral palsy) on the progress of gross motor functions in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: Prospective cohort study on eighty children (44 boys, 36 girls) aging 3.11 ± 0.88 years old, diagnosed as spastic cerebral palsy. The gross motor function measure (GMFM-88) between two-time intervals with follow-up time 6 months Results: The median of the mean difference for the GMFM scores was related to socioeconomic status, age, sex, severity, and type of CP.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• gross motor function measure

  The Gross motor function measure (GMFM-88) is a valid clinical assessment tool designed to evaluate gross motor function, and its change over time in children with cerebral palsy (Russell, 2013). (GMFM-88) consists of 88 items in five dimensions A: Lying and Rolling (17 items), B: Sitting (20 items), C: Crawling and Kneeling (14 items), D: Standing (13 items), and E: Walking, Running and Jumping( 24 items). Each item was scored as 0 - does not initiate, 1 - initiates, 2 - partially completes, and 3 - completed, or not tested. The GMFM total scores is summation of the scores for all dimensions and dividing by 5. A percentage score was calculated for total score so it ranges from 0 to 100.

Interventions

physical therapy intervention OTHER

NDT bases on neuroplasticity by which the brain change and reorganize itself and its processes according to practice and experience by a) facilitation of normal postural alignment and movement patterns; b) inhibition of the involvement during developmental and functional activities; and c) using sensory feedback (manual contact, visual integration, somatosensory reinforcement) for recovering function

Also known as: neurodevelopmental technique, strength training

factors ( SES,age, sex,severity) and progress
