Brief Summary

In this research the effects of progressive resistance exercise training on endurance and functional mobility in children with spina bifida are assessed.

Conditions

Spina Bifida

Keywords

resistance exercise; endurance; functional mobility

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Patient Specific Functional Scale for lower extremity functional status

  Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) was developed by Stratford et al 1995 as a self-report outcome measure of function that could be used in patients with varying levels of independence. The aim of PSFS is to provide clinicians with a valid, reliable, responsive and efficient outcome measure that would be easy to use and applicable to a large number of clinical presentations. Gives the patient positive re-enforcement that the intervention is effective. Can be used on a wide variety of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions

Progressive resistance exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Other: Progressive resistance exercise

Interventions

Conventional treatment OTHER

Conventional protocol that involves simple active and passive range of motion exercises of lower limb with positioning for assistive devices was provided

Conventional treatment

Progressive resistance exercise OTHER

The protocol that was applied on the members of (experimental group) are progressive resistance exercises. These passive resistance exercises included Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction of hip; Flexion, Extension of knee; with minimum time in start and minimum quantity of loads, with Thera bands and sandbags,.

Progressive resistance exercise
