About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

children who didnot use the assistive device children who follow the commands children who did not treated in any other rehabilitation center

Exclusion criteria

children with any other diagnosis other than CP children with fixed contractures children underwent surgery children who received Botulinum Toxin

Treatment and study plan

functional strength training

Other

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

Primary outcomes

  1. Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)

    Time frame: 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.

  2. Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS)

    Time frame: 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 outcomes

  1. Five time sit to stand (FTSST).

    Time frame: Data was collected at Baseline and after 4 weeks

    Used to asses functional lower extremity strength, transitional movements, balance, and fall risk
