Brief Summary

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

The study was conducted to examine the impact of the action observation training (AOT) on gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description

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

Thirty children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy aged from 4 to 7 years were randomly allocated into two groups of equal number; study group (A) and control group (B). Both groups received designed physical therapy program for 45 minutes, three times/ per week for two successive months. In addition, study group received action observation (AO) training for 30 minutes per session. All phases of gait cycle and functional ability of all children participating in both groups was assessed by kenovia software and gross motor function measure (GMFM) walking, running and jumping domain.

Effect of action observation training on gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy

Action observation training used to improve gross motor function including walking, jumping and running domain in children with cerebral palsy by observing at imitate phases of gait cycle performed by a normal person

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

action observation trainingAOT refers to an observational practice that has been used extensively for the goal of motor programming and enhances motor learning and performance

Intervention Type OTHER

In AOT, motor-related information can be available through the visual function by encoding into the mental representation of the memory to organize the intended action
