Summary

The aim of the study; To investigate the effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilizations and Stretching Exercises on flexibility, spasticity, balance and functional mobility in patients with CP.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

* This technique will be performed using instruments of different sizes, shapes and treatment styles. * During the application, instruments will be applied to loosen the muscle tissue and fascia by gliding on the tissue at certain angles. * The muscle groups to be treated with IASTM are gastrocnemius, soleus and tibialis posterior. It will also be applied to the superficial and deep fascia. * The instrument will be sterilized before treatment. * IASTM treatment will be applied without damaging the tissue after massaging cream is applied to the muscle fibers with the instrument.

OTHER

Stretching Exercises

* The muscle groups to be applied stretching exercises are gastrocinemius, soleus and tibialis posterior. It will also be applied to the superficial and deep fascia. * 3 different functional stretching exercises will be applied; * With the hands supported on the wall and with the help of the physiotherapist, the affected extremity is behind the knee in full extension m. gastrocnemius stretching exercise, * With the hands supported on the wall and with the help of the physiotherapist, the knee is partially flexed, with the affected extremity behind. soleus stretching exercise, * It is a stretching exercise that will be applied by asking the patient to squat without lifting his heels, with the patient's hands supported by the physiotherapist.

OTHER

Control Group / NDT program

* Efforts to eliminate tone disorders, * Sensory-perception-motor integrity development studies, * Activities aimed at facilitating movements in daily life, * Stretching and strengthening exercises due to muscle shortness and weakness, * Studies to increase lower and upper extremity functionality, * It will include the training of activities such as standing up, walking and balance.
