Effect of Platform Swing Walkway on Locomotor Behavior in Diplegic Children

Locomotor activity is accompanied by a number of sensory stimuli: visual, auditory, olfactory, vestibular, and somatosensory. When improving motor skills, incorporating postural reflexes, creating synchronized eye movements, and visual attention skills, the vestibular system is particularly important.

About this study

Thirty diaplegic cerebral palsied children of both sexes, ranged in age from 3 to 6 years enrolled in this study. They randomly assigned into two groups of equal number; control group (A), study group (B). Group (A) groups received the conventional physical therapy program based on neurodevelopmental approach for such cases. Whereas study group (B) received the same conventional physical therapy program given to group (A) in addition to gait training on platform swing walkway for 30 minute. All children were assessed before and after the treatment program by using 2D video based gait assessment system to measure the percentage of swing and stance phase, also GMFM was used to assess standing and walking, running, and jumping abilities, domains (D) and (E).

Primary outcomes

  1. Growth Motor Function Measure Scale (GMFM).

    Time frame: pre intervension and after three months of the intervention to asses the improvent in standing and walking .the highest score indicate improvementg

    Growth Motor Function Measure Scaleis the scale tat will assess the functional gross preinterventiona and after 3 months of the treatment program

  2. 2D, video based gait assessment system:

    Time frame: 2D, video based gait assessment system asses the change in the stance in swing phase before and after three months of the intervention program .
