Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trail is to test if kinesio-taping on lower limbs has an effect on balance and gait in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. Children in study group will have designed physiotherapy for gait and balance, the control group will have designed physiotherapy in addition to kinesio-taping on both lower limbs.

Study Arms (2)

Group A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Control group.

Procedure: kinesio-taping.

Group B

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Experimental group.

Procedure: kinesio-taping.; Procedure: A designed physiotherapy program.

Interventions

kinesio-taping. PROCEDURE

A therapeutic tape that's applied strategically to the body to provide support, reduce pain, swelling and improve performance. Kinesio taping will be applied on both lower limbs. Taping will be applied for 4 days, 24 hours a day, on the lower limbs, and it will be removed for only one day per week.

Group A; Group B

A designed physiotherapy program. PROCEDURE

The designed physiotherapy program included passive stretching, weight bearing, muscle strengthening, functional exercises, neurodevelopmental treatment, splinting, balance training, and gait training. The treatment protocol will be repeated each session per weeks for twelve weeks.

Group B
