Brief Summary

PURPOSE: To investigate the correlations between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia. BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy is primarily a disorder of movement and posture HYPOTHESES: There is no correlation between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia. RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a correlation between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia?

Conditions

Diplegic Cerebral Palsy

Keywords

isolated motor control; functional ability; body mass index; cerebral palsy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• The selective control assessment of lower extremity (SCALE)

  is a tool used for assessment of SVMC in children with spastic CP.

  through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Anthropometric measurements

  include weight (measured using a calibrated digital scale and height (measured using Harpenden Stadiometer). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight (kg)/height (m2). higher scores indicate obesity

  through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Wee Functional Independence Measure (Wee-FIM)

  is a tool used to assess activities of daily living (ADL) in children with cerebral palsy.

  through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)

  through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Gross Motor Function Classification System Expanded and Revised for CP children between 6th and 12th birthday:

  through study completion, an average of 1 year
