Brief Summary

The randomized control trail was to determine the effects of additional functional Strength Training on mobility in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.

Conditions

Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy; Mobility

Keywords

Cerebral palsy; Functional strength training; Mobility; GMFC; GMFM

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)

  GMFM is used to evaluate change that occurs over time in the gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy.

  Data was collected at Baseline and after 4 weeks

• Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS)

  The GMFCS, or Gross Motor Function Classification System, is a five-level classification that differentiates children with cerebral palsy based on the child's current gross motor abilities, limitations in gross motor function, and need for assistive technology and wheeled mobility.

  Data was collected at Baseline and after 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Five time sit to stand (FTSST).

  Data was collected at Baseline and after 4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Functional strength training

EXPERIMENTAL

With conventional therapy,the ten tasks were STS, one leg standing, weight shifting(from one side of body to other), step-ups, lateral step-ups, squatting against wall, picking an object from standing position, walking forward, walking backward and kicking the ball preform from the patient 5 days per week for 4 weeks.

Other: Functional Strength Training

Conventional therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

passive and active range of motion exercises,Stretching and strengthening exercise 5 days per week for 4 weeks.

Other: Functional Strength Training

Interventions

Functional Strength Training OTHER

In addition to conventional therapy, experimental group was also given functional strength training program. Functional strength training was given as home program consisting of ten tasks.The ten tasks were STS, one leg standing, weight shifting(from one side of body to other), step-ups, lateral step-ups, squatting against wall, picking an object from standing position, walking forward, walking backward and kicking the ball.

Also known as: conventional therapy

Conventional therapy; Functional strength training
