Detailed Description

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

A clinical trial was conducted to assess the impact dynamic surface exercise training on gross motor and trunk control of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. The trial enrolled 38 children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy of GMFCS levels 3 and 4. Children were randomly assigned to either the DSET or conventional physiotherapy training groups. Both groups underwent 60-minute vigorous exercise program four days a week for two months. The trunk control measurement scale was used to assess trunk control, while the GMFM-88 was used to assess gross motor function. Trunk control and gross motor function scores were obtained at the beginning, the fourth week, and the eighth week.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

38 children with CP were randomly assigned to 2 groups. 1 group was interventional group and second group was control group. Both the groups were provided with therapy ( interventional group was provided with conventional therapy and intervention. control group was provided with conventional therapy only) and results were analyzed based on performance of both groups.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

the outcome assessor was masked and had no idea about which participants were assigned to which group

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

dynamic surface exercise training group

This group includes 19 subjects all of which are children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy of GMFCS levels 3 and 4. This group received a set of exercises on various dynamic surfaces along with routine physical therapy. This group underwent a 60-minutes vigorous exercise program four days a week for two months

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dynamic surface exercise training

Intervention Type OTHER

Dynamic surface exercise training involves a set of exercises that are performed on various dynamic surfaces like gym ball and vestibular swing. All these exercise provide optimal arousal as they provide proprioceptive and vestibular stimulus. This group received a set of exercises on various dynamic surfaces.These exercises were implemented for 60 minutes for four days a week for two months.And it was observed how these exercises impacted gross motor function and trunk control of children with diplegic cerebral palsy of GMFCS level 3 and 4

conventional physical therapy group

This group includes 19 subjects all of which are children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy of GMFCS levels 3 and 4. This group received only conventional physical therapy which is based upon principles of NDT. This group underwent a 60-minutes vigorous exercise program four days a week for two months.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

conventional physical therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

conventional physical therapy based on NDT involves a set of exercises that mostly include positioning exercises such as quadruped, side sitting, reaching sideways and overhead in sitting and catch and throw activities.
