Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The functional strength training is mainly dealt with anti-gravity muscles and aiming at maximal carry over in day to day activities. The functional strength training can be given using resistance and it may be gravity, body weight, resistance bands and free weights. The exercises are specific to the muscle or muscle groups recruited during the functional activities

Intervention Model:

Parallel Assignment

Intervention Model Description:

intervention group received progressive resistive functional strength training from plantigrade foot position conducted for one hour, 3 days/week. The therapist will replace the conventional physical therapy with the progressive resistive functional strength training, when this is consistent with the objectives of the strength training.intervention group received progressive resistive functional strength training from plantigrade foot position conducted for one hour, 3 days/week.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Gross motor functional measurement [pre and after 3 months of intervention,, the higer score will represent the improvement]
The GMFM is a standardized observational scale designed and validated to measure change in gross motor function over time in children with CP.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Isometric muscle strength measurements [pre and after 3 months of intervention,, increase in muscle will represent the improvement]
The gold standard for evaluating isometric muscle strength is the portable dynamometer. This is an easy-to-use, sensitive device for detecting muscular action and for performing objective, valid, and reliable measurements in several populations
