Conditions

Balance Problems in Spastic Hemiplegic Children; Walking Performance in Spastic Hemiplegic Children

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: SINGLE

Study Groups

children treated by the traditional physical therapy program based on Neurodevelopmental technique

Twenty-five cerebral palsied hemiplegic children will be treated by the traditional physical therapy program ( balance board, single limb support, standing with throwing ball ) based on Neurodevelopmental technique for 6 month

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Virtual Reality

Intervention Type: DEVICE

children treated by Virtual Reality for 15 min. besides the traditional physical therapy program

children treated by Virtual Reality for 15 min. besides the traditional physical therapy program

twenty-five cerebral palsied hemiplegics will be included in this group; they will be receive the regular physical therapy program in addition to training by Virtual reality with use of the HMD helmet allows users to perceive a 3D stereoscopic images that enable participants to interact with different balance games as football Soccer, football heading (known as Soccer Heading), the tight rope walks and the Penguin slide game.
