Brief Summary

The study will be directed to compare which of whole body vibration (WBV) training and Functional strength training (FST) has better effect on balance in children with hemiparesis

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy; Hemiparesis

Keywords

cerebral palsy; Hemiparesis; balance; whole body vibration; functional strength training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• balance improvement

  we will use pediatric balance scale and Biodex balance system to measure balance

  3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• gross motor performance

  3 months

Study Arms (2)

whole body vibration

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

will receive whole body Vibration training that elicits a warm up effect to improves muscle power and balance in addition to designed physical program.

Device: whole body vibration

Functional strength training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

will receive Functional strength training that focuses on the movement pattern quality and treats functional movement and provides postural stability while promoting balance independence with confidence

Other: Functional strength training

Interventions

whole body vibration DEVICE

to improve muscle power and balance.
