Pully System Exercise Role in Management of Spasticity

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of pully system exercise in in management of spasticity in cerebral palsy children

Does pully system exercise has role in management of spasticity in cerebral palsy children ?

Participants will:

The participants assigned to the control group will receive a standard care program. This program is designed to provide basic supportive therapies without the specialized pulley system exercises

About this study

there are two groups one group will receive traditional physical therapy programme another group will receive pully system exercise

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Inclusion criteria
  • The degree of spasticity is (1) according to Modified Ashwarth's scale
  • They able to understand orders given to them.
  • All children evaluated before and after the suggested period of the physical therapy program (3months).

Exclusion criteria

  • - No fixed deformities.
  • They have neither visual nor auditory problems.
  • They have neither perceptual nor cognitive problems.

Treatment and study plan

designed physical therapy , pully system exercise

Other

Participants assigned to the intervention group will engage in a specially designed physical therapy program focusing on pulley system exercises. The program is scheduled to occur three times per week, which is frequent enough to potentially induce meaningful improvements while allowing adequate rest between sessions to prevent fatigue and overtraining

Primary outcomes

  1. gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy using GMFMS

    Time frame: 3 months

    evaluate change that occurs over time in the gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy

  2. pediatric balance scale

    Time frame: 3 months

    A 14-item criterion-referenced measure that examines functional balance in the context of everyday tasks in the pediatric population.

Secondary outcomes

  1. spasticity with EMG

    Time frame: 3 months

    In assessing muscle tone it is important to consider all the inputs and outputs affecting it, using biomechanical-EMG techniques for measuring active tone

Other outcomes

  1. erobic capacity

    Time frame: 3 months

    6m walk test
