Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

As many researches have been conducted to see the effects of vestibular system activation on gross motor activities of children with cerebral palsy but there are limited researches on improvement of motor abilities of hemiplegic cerebral palsy child using UEU or BOSU ball or treadmill in a single study. There is lack of research on vestibular stimulation in hemiplegic cerebral palsy along with neurodevelopmental treatment.

This study will improve the gross motor activities of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It will broaden up the ways for physical therapist to deal with this type of cerebral palsy (hemiplegic).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There are various therapeutic approaches that are used to improve motor activities and postural control in CP child. Among these approaches vestibular stimulation is used to improve neuromotor development by different sensory stimulation techniques. It has shown positive effects on motor control of CP child. It also influences all sensory experiences and is an exercise based approach.

Group A

Neurodevelopmental Treatment. Total duration of treatment will be 20 minutes, 3 sessions per for 3 months

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Neurodevelopmental technique

Intervention Type OTHER

1. st month: postural maintenance; exercises with weight on forearms and hands, in sitting, crawling, semi-kneeling and standing positions with support from therapist.
2. nd month: balance and corrective reactions; using CP ball and tilt board.
3. rd month: ambulation training; appropriate to motor development level (crawling, creeping, walking in a semi-kneeling position and walking between parallel bars).

Group B

Neurodevelopmental Technique and Vestibular stimulation. Total duration of treatment will be 50 minutes (20 min NDT+ 30 MIN VS) 3 sessions per week for 3 months.
