Detailed Description

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

Cerebral palsy (CP) being a non-progressive neurodevelopmental condition, is the leading cause of chronic disability in children, making them physically and mentally handicapped and socially unapproachable. The low tone of the torso also causes postural instability, lack of mobility, and muscle stiffness in the legs. Therapeutic intervention for children with cerebral palsy should be composed of goal directed, functional, and meaningful activities by considering the clinical type, degree of disability, cognitive level and interest of the child. The trunk being the central key point of the body, proximal trunk control is a prerequisite for distal limb movement control, balance, and functional mobility. Since children with cerebral palsy show damage not only in the function and an ability to accomplish tasks, but also in the quality of movement. The objective of this study will be to help clinicians regarding the effectiveness of task-oriented training and gross motor functional training for children with cerebral palsy.

This will be a Randomized Clinical Trial in which participants of age 5 - 12 years with cerebral palsy will be assigned randomly for the study. Population will be taken from Physical Therapy Department of Agile Rehabilitation Complex, Bahawalpur. After taking consent, demographics including age, gender and birth history etc. will be recorded. Questionnaires will be distributed among parents and their responses will be collected. Questionnaires for trunk impairment scale, postural assessment scale, pediatric balance scale and GMFM-88 will be used as tools of assessment. The collected data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 27.0.

Study Groups

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

Task-oriented activities based on NDT (TOA-NDT) principle and Conventional Physical Therapy

The experimental group undergo conventional physical therapy and additional task-oriented activities based on NDT (TOT-NDT) principle 10 - 36 sessions in 5-8 weeks, 2 to 6 days per sessions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Task-oriented activities based on NDT (TOA-NDT) principle and Conventional Physical Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

This will be a randomized clinical trial. patients are divided into two groups. one of them will undergo task-oriented activities along with conventional physical therapy treatment, while the other will undergo gross motor task training along with conventional physical therapy treatment. Purpose is to determine that which of them has greater benefit in improving balance trunk control and functional mobility in children with cerebral palsy.

Gross motor task training and Conventional physical therapy (CPT)

This group will receive conventional physical therapy and additional gross motor task training 10-36 sessions in 5-8 weeks, 2 to 6 days per sessions.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
