Brief Summary

The proprioceptive training with a therapy regime enhances the body's somatosensory input that in result changes the body to be more functional in different types of interactions. This study is dedicated to finding out how much proprioception training is helpful in gross motor function level improvement and enhances functional activities of CP children

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy

Keywords

: Spastic Quadriplegia, Cerebral palsy; Proprioceptive training, Somatosensory input

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Gross Motor Function

  Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) is a 5-level clinical classification system that describes the gross motor function of people with cerebral palsy on the basis of self-initiated movement abilities. Higher scores indicate better improvement in gross motor functions.
