Brief Summary

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

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common disorder which leads to physical disability in children throughout life and begins in early childhood. In cerebral palsy spasticity is considered as a primary factor leads to much impairment which is inversely related to functional development that means greater the spasticity lowers the level of function. There are many ways to treat spasticity which involve stretching, strengthening, postural education, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, cryotherapy and myofascial release technique.

Detailed Description

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

This study will be a randomized controlled trial. Study will be approved by ethical committee. After that informed consent will be taken and patients will be included in the study on the basis of inclusion criteria. Non probability convenience sampling technique will be used and study will be conducted on 28 patients with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy, 6 to 12 years of age. Patient will be randomly categorize into two groups by using flip coin. Experimental group will receive myofascial release on ankle planterflexors and quick icing treatment protocol on ankle dorsiflexors. Control group will receive only myofascial release treatment protocol on ankle planterflexors. Pre and Post intervention assessment will be made for both groups. Tone of planterflexors will be assessed by Modified Ashworth Scale, ankle passive range of motion will be assessed by goniometer and static balance will be assessed by Romberg test(open eyes).

Myofascial Release and Quick icing

Experimental group will receive myofascial release \& quick icing.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

myofascial release and quick icing

Intervention Type OTHER

In experimental group the individuals will receive myofascial release and quick icing. Quick icing will be on ankle dorsiflexors by using ice pack in the target area. Quick icing will be applied for 10 minutes (time of application 10 seconds and a rest for 20 seconds). This treatment protocol will be 6 times/week for 4 weeks in the hospital setting. Mayofascial release will be given on the target ankle planterflexors. The subjects who will receive Myofascial Release will be positioned in prone with the treatment area exposed. The treatment will be applied by the therapist standing at the side of the patient. Then technique will be applied with different levels by following longitudinal movements according to subject's tolerance for duration of 3 minutes in each sitting. Patients will be given a rest time after each level in order to allow the tissue to soften. This treatment protocol will be 6 times/week for 4 weeks in the hospital setting.

Myofascial Release

In control group the individuals will receive only myofascial release on ankle planterflexors.
