Summary

Cerebral Palsy is a disorder of movement and posture due to deficit or lesion of immature brain. Out of all types of cerebral palsy 77.4% is spastic cerebral palsy. Spasticity is resistance to externally imposed movement increases with increasing speed of stretch and varies with the direction of joint movement. In this research the aim of our study is to measure the effects of post isometric relaxation and eccentric muscle energy technique of spasticity of hamstring muscle in cerebral palsy children in randomized controlled study. Study duration is of six months. Sampling will be lottery method. Inclusion criteria will include individuals having age between five to fifteen with diplegic cerebal palsy, well oriented and spastic hamstrings with Ashworth score +2 or +3.Exclusion criteria includes children with flaccid and mixed cerebral palsy, quadriplegic and hemiplegic cerebral palsy and mentally retarded. Data will be collected on structured questionnaire. those individuals who fulfill inclusion criteria will be divided into two groups .both groups will be treated with hot packs for ten minutes and static stretching. Group 1 will be given post isometric relaxation technique and group 2 will be given eccentric muscle energy technique. Post interventional analysis will be done at sixth week. Data will be analysed with SPSS 21.

Conditions

OTHER

Eccentric Muscle contraction - Group II

and Eccentric muscle energy techniques(EME) techniques are used by orthopedic manual physical therapists to enhance the flexibility of muscles and to increase the joint range of motion
