Brief Summary

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

This study aims to determine if there is a connection between gross motor coordination and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Since these children often struggle with balance and other motor skills, researchers hypothesize that there is no link between the two abilities.

Detailed Description

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

PURPOSE:

To examine the relationship between the gross motor coordination and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

BACKGROUND:

Motor coordination is required for the effective acquisition of movements and effortless performance. Gross motor coordination involves numerous skills, including balance, bilateral movement, agility, and speed. Children with cerebral palsy exhibit a deterioration in gross motor coordination ability.

The lack of postural control in children with cerebral palsy impairs functional balance. According to studies, children with cerebral palsy have poorer static and dynamic balance responses than typically developing children.

HYPOTHESES:

\- There is no relationship between gross motor coordination and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

RESEARCH QUESTION:

\- Is there a relationship between gross motor coordination and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
