July 10, 2024
Actual (reported)Randomized controlled trial will be conducted on thirty-two cerebral palsy children in Punjab Special School. Spastic Diplegic CP children with GMFCs level III, IV, V with age range of 6 to 12. These children have limited range of hamstring muscles. Assessment will be measured Pre and Post treatment by goniometer of crouched gait in standing and lying on couch. Crouched gait will be measured by Knee flexion in standing and lying. To measure hamstring flexibility ROM of knee extension is measured with 90 flexion at hip joint. Spasticity in this study will be assessed by GMFM-88 and modified Ashworth scale.

Actual (reported)Modified Ashwarth Scale
The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is a commonly used clinical assessment tool to evaluate muscle tone and spasticity in individuals with neurological conditions such as spastic cerebral palsy. It is a reliable and valid method for grading muscle resistance during passive movement. interrater reliability of AS and MAS varied from moderate to good. ICC scores of AS were between 0.54 and 0.78 and MAS were between 0.61-0.87. Test-retest results of AS and MAS varied from poor to good. ICC values were between 0.31 and 0.82 for AS and between 0.36 and 0.83 for MAS

GMFM-88
The Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) is widely used tool for assessing changes in gross motor function among children with cerebral palsy. It comprising 88 items across five domains. GMFM-A includes activities such as lying and rolling, GMFM-B includes sitting, Crawling and kneeling includes in GMFM-C, GMFM-D includes standing and walking, running and jumping includes in GMFM-E. The reliability of GMFM-88 is 0.75 to 1.0.

Goniometer
A goniometer is a measurement tool commonly used in rehabilitation and physical therapy to assess the range of motion (ROM) of various joints in the body. It consists of a stationary arm and a movable arm with a protractor-like scale, allowing for precise measurement of joint angles. By aligning the stationary arm with the joint's axis and the movable arm with the body segment, the goniometer provides objective measurements of joint flexibility, mobility, and muscle strength. The goniometer provides valuable quantitative data that can guide treatment planning, monitor patient progress, and assess functional outcomes related to joint movement and mobility.

Shortwave therapy, stretching and orthotics will be provided to Group A. Shock wave session will be provided for 20 minutes thrice a week. Five days in a week provided five minutes with 30 seconds sustained stretch will be provided and than orthotics will be used to obtained the sustained effect.
In Group B spastic diplegic children just given stretching with strengthening and orthotics. We provide sustained 30 seconds stretch with 30 seconds rest for 5 minutes and followed with forty repetition of hip flexor and knee flexors and range will be maintained by applying orthosis.
