Brief Summary

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

Some positive effects of whole body vibration applications in reducing spasticity, improving walking ability, and increasing walking speed have been reported in children with CP, but the evidence is not strong enough. Therefore, this study was planned to evaluate the effect of whole body vibration treatment on spasticity, gait, balance, and motor performance in children with spastic CP. This study hypothesis that whole body vibration provides an additive improvement on spasticity, balance, gait and motor performance.

Detailed Description

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

Participants will be evaluate at baseline, after the conventional physiotherapy program, and after whole body vibration training program. During this period, the participants who were recruited whole body vibration training program, whole body vibration will be applied in addition to conventional physiotherapy sessions comprised 45 min, 2 days a week, during 8 week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

whole body vibration training program

Intervention Type OTHER

The whole body vibration training program sessions consisted of three 3-min bouts of vibration of 20 Hz and a peak-to-peak amplitude of 2mm with a 3-min rest in between, in addition to conventional physiotherapy exercises for children with cerebral palsy.
