Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Children with CP may have muscle weakness, changes in mobility, posture, muscle tone, motor coordination and deficits in postural control. These changes, individually or collectively, affect psychomotor function. As a result, activities that are performed quickly and readily by healthy children may be difficult and time-consuming for children with CP.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Physical therapy program
  • Other: scooter board activities

Detailed Description

Similar vestibular stimulation can be provided with ascooter-board which requires more active participation on the part of the child. A scooter-board is simply a wooden board mounted on four castors so that it can roll freely and spin in any direction, it should be big enough to support the middle part of the body while the head, upper chest and legs hang off the ends.

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: control group

Received the designed physical therapy program.

Other: Physical therapy program
Stretching exercises Strength Training Kneeling exercises Standing exercises Gait Training
Experimental: study group

Received a designed physical therapy program in addition to scooter bord activities.

Other: Physical therapy program
Stretching exercises Strength Training Kneeling exercises Standing exercises Gait Training

Other: scooter board activities
Scooter board bear walk. Scooter board crab walk. Sitting on scooter board, use it to move forward and backward, move the pool rings from one end to another. Cross sitting on scooter board, pulls along the rope using his/her hands Sit with knees pulled into the chest (like a bug pose) and move around with arms only. Prone over scooter board, pulling rope to move forward. Pull self along an anchored rope to retrieve items Scooter rolls outs. Place knees on floor and hands holding the edge of the front scooter board. Push board out a few inches then pull back, the further you roll, the harder it gets. Kneeling, Push self forward and backward with the use of a therapy ball (lots of Motor Planning). Supine flexion on scooter board, Clip clothespins to a rope hanging above.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Trunk control measurement scale (TCMS) [3 months]

    TCMS measures trunk control in two basic components: static and dynamic sitting balance. Balance is assessed during flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation movements as selective movements of dynamic sitting. Total score ranges between 0 and 58, and higher scores indicate better control

  2. 2D video-based gait assessment system [3 months]

    2D video-based gait assessment system to measure lateral trunk sway at SLS from frontal view
