Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of plyometric training versus strengthening exercise on quadriceps and hamstring muscles and quality of life and selective motor control of lower limb of children with hemiplegia.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Children With Hemiplegic cp Effect of Plyometic Exercises

Detailed Description

Hand-Held dynamometer is used to assess the muscle strength of quadriceps and hamstring Selective control assessment of lower extremity scale is used to assess selective motor control of lower limb.

Peds Ql scale is used to assess quality of life of the children. The methods of assessment are valid and reliable.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Muscle strength [three months]
Muscle strength of quadriceps and hamstrings is assessed by Hand-Held dynamometer
Quality of life of children [three months]
Quality of life of children (physical, psychological and social) is assessed by PedsQl scale PedsQl scale scoring from 0-100 scale The higher scores indicate better health related quality of life and lower scores indicate worse health related quality of life
Selective motor control of lower limb [three months]
Selective motor control of lower limb is assessed by selective control assessment of lower extremity scale The scale has 3 grades for each joint (hip, knee, ankle, sub-talar and toes) 0 point : unable point : impaired points : normal
