Brief Summary

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

This study aims to investigate the impact of Shuttle Balance Training (SBT) on balance, gait, and postural control among children diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Mild cognitive impairment in children often manifests as challenges in cognitive processing, motor coordination, and daily activities that involve balance and movement. The research will employ a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, involving children aged 6-12 years diagnosed with MCI.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving Shuttle Balance Training or a control group receiving standard care or placebo interventions. The Shuttle Balance Training protocol consists of structured sessions focusing on dynamic balance exercises, coordination drills, and proprioceptive challenges using shuttle devices. Training sessions will be conducted thrice weekly over a period of 12 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 45 minutes. The study will be randomized controlled trial. Total \_\_ subjects will be assigned by non probability convenient sampling technique. They were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The Berg balance scale, limits of stability test, GOAL test, Timed up and go tools will be used. Tests will be used as outcome measure tools for balance, walk, coordination and Physical activity. All measures will be taken at baseline and at the end of treatment session. The collected data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0 version. If data will be normally distributed then parametric if not normally distributed than non-parametric test will be apply.

Shuttle Balance Training

Shuttle balance training is a dynamic exercise program designed to improve balance, gait, and posture, especially beneficial for children with mild cognitive impairment. It includes activities like shuttle runs, lateral steps, single-leg balances, crossovers, figure-8 drills, obstacle courses, and reaction drills-all aimed at enhancing coordination, stability, and agility. The program typically runs for 45-minute sessions, three times a week. Pre-assessments are used to measure baseline abilities, and progress is monitored throughout. This type of training helps improve motor control, body awareness, and functional movement, leading to better balance, more stable gait, and improved postural control in daily activities.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Shuttle Balance Training

Intervention Type OTHER

Shuttle balance training is a form of dynamic balance exercise that uses a shuttle system-often a platform or track with resistance bands or gliders-to help improve stability, coordination, and strength. In children, this type of training plays a significant role in enhancing gait, balance, and posture by engaging core and lower limb muscles in controlled, functional movements. It encourages proprioceptive development, helping children become more aware of their body's position in space, which is crucial for maintaining upright posture and walking efficiently. Through repetitive and playful activities, shuttle balance training can aid in correcting abnormal gait patterns, improving postural alignment, and boosting confidence in physical activities.

Baseline Treatment

"Baseline treatment" refers to the standard or initial treatment that is provided to a patient.

Baseline treatment sets a foundation for managing the patient's condition effectively. It ensures that the patient receives appropriate care based on current medical knowledge and guidelines, with the goal of improving health outcomes and quality of life. Duration of session will be 45 min and 3 sessions per week.

* Control Group Considerations: Clarifying how participants assigned to the control group will receive standard care or placebo intervention to maintain ethical standards and enable comparison with the intervention group.
* Outcome Measures: Specifying the outcome measures and assessment tools used to evaluate the effects of the intervention on balance, gait, and postural control, both immediately after the intervention period and potentially during follow-up assessments.
