Brief Summary

The study was conducted to examine the impact of the action observation training (AOT) on gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Conditions

Diplegic Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Primary Outcome Measure

  1\. Gross Motor Function Measure All children were assessed using the GMFM-88 scale. The GMFM scale has been validated to assess change in motor performance in children with CP. In this study we assessed the items of walking, running and jumping of the GMFM. The items are scored on four-point ordinal scales (0=cannot initiate; 1=initiates; 2=partially completes item; 3=completes item independently)

  8 weeks

Effect of action observation training on gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy

EXPERIMENTAL

Action observation training used to improve gross motor function including walking, jumping and running domain in children with cerebral palsy by observing at imitate phases of gait cycle performed by a normal person

Other: action observation trainingAOT refers to an observational practice that has been used extensively for the goal of motor programming and enhances motor learning and performance

action observation training

EXPERIMENTAL

Action observation training (AO) is cognitive intervention technique that is used to improve and learn exercise skills in sports, athletes, the general public and patient with motor impairment

Other: action observation trainingAOT refers to an observational practice that has been used extensively for the goal of motor programming and enhances motor learning and performance

Interventions

In AOT, motor-related information can be available through the visual function by encoding into the mental representation of the memory to organize the intended action
