Study Description

Brief Summary

The randomized control trail was to determine the effects of additional functional Strength Training on mobility in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy Mobility	Other: Functional Strength Training	N/A

Detailed Description

The aim of functional physiotherapy is to train the child by emphasizing him to learn motor abilities. These motor abilities are those that are thought to be though either by children with cerebral palsy or their parents. Functional activities are learned by the repetitive practice of goal-oriented tasks in a given functional situation. This approach instead of focusing on normality, it focuses on functionality. In this way, it is very necessary for the child to practice a given task functionally rather than normally.No studies have been done to improve mobility and strength in lower limb in children with hemiplegia cerebral palsy. So for this reason, this study is conducted to investigate the effects of additional functional Strength Training on mobility in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.In this way we can make these children an active participant of the society.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Functional strength training With conventional therapy,the ten tasks were STS, one leg standing, weight shifting(from one side of body to other), step-ups, lateral step-ups, squatting against wall, picking an object from standing position, walking forward, walking backward and kicking the ball preform from the patient 5 days per week for 4 weeks.	Other: Functional Strength Training In addition to conventional therapy, experimental group was also given functional strength training program. Functional strength training was given as home program consisting of ten tasks.The ten tasks were STS, one leg standing, weight shifting(from one side of body to other), step-ups, lateral step-ups, squatting against wall, picking an object from standing position, walking forward, walking backward and kicking the ball. Other Names: conventional therapy
Active Comparator: Conventional therapy passive and active range of motion exercises,Stretching and strengthening exercise 5 days per week for 4 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) [Data was collected at Baseline and after 4 weeks]
GMFM is used to evaluate change that occurs over time in the gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy.
Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) [Data was collected at Baseline and after 4 weeks]
The GMFCS, or Gross Motor Function Classification System, is a five-level classification that differentiates children with cerebral palsy based on the child's current gross motor abilities, limitations in gross motor function, and need for assistive technology and wheeled mobility.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Five time sit to stand (FTSST). [Data was collected at Baseline and after 4 weeks]
Used to asses functional lower extremity strength, transitional movements, balance, and fall risk
