Brief Summary

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

Randomized controlled trial will be conducted on thirty-two cerebral palsy children in Punjab Special School. Spastic Diplegic CP children with GMFCs level III, IV, V with age range of 6 to 12. These children have limited range of hamstring muscles. Assessment will be measured Pre and Post treatment by goniometer of crouched gait in standing and lying on couch. Crouched gait will be measured by Knee flexion in standing and lying. To measure hamstring flexibility ROM of knee extension is measured with 90 flexion at hip joint. Spasticity in this study will be assessed by GMFM-88 and modified Ashworth scale.

Detailed Description

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

Shortwave therapy, stretching and orthotics will be provided to Group A. Shock wave session will be provided for 20 minutes thrice a week. Five days, five minutes with 30 seconds sustained stretch will be provided and than orthotics will be used to obtained the sustained effect.

In Group B spastic diplegic children just given stretching with strengthening and orthotics. We provide sustained 30 seconds stretch with 30 seconds rest for 5 minutes and followed with forty repetition of hip flexor and knee flexors and range will be maintained by applying orthosis.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Randomized Control trial in which non-probability convenient sampling will be used. Both group of spastic CP of age 6 to 12 will be randomly divided. Group A will receive shockwave, stretching and orthosis. Group B will receive stretching and orthosis.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants

Participants will get separated treatment protocols and possible efforts will be put to mask the both groups about the treatment.
