Summary

To determine the effects of chiropractic care on spasticity, functional outcomes and quality of life in spastic cerebral Palsy children.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Sham intervention

The participants head and/or spine will be moved in ways that include passive and active movements, similar to what is done when assessing the spine by a chiropractor. The sham intervention will also include the participants moving into adjustment setup positions similar to how the chiropractor would typically set up a patient with no joint pre-loading or adjustive thrust

OTHER

Chiropractic Care

A registered chiropractor will assess the entire spine, and both sacroiliac joints will be assessed for vertebral subluxation by a registered chiropractor. The clinical indicators that will be used to assess the function of the spine before spinal adjustment intervention include assessing for joint tenderness to palpation manually palpating for a restricted intersegmental range of motion, assessing for palpable asymmetric intervertebral muscle tension, and any abnormal or blocked joint play and end-feel of the joints.

OTHER

Physical therapy intervention

The standardized treatment protocol will be provided according to the guidelines, which will include various modalities and treatment approaches, including stretching exercises; massage; strengthening exercises of weak muscles, weight-bearing, balance (static and dynamic) and gait training; electrical stimulation; treadmill use; and endurance training for the improvement of gait, motor function, strength and functional mobility in Cerebral Palsy children, where Conventional Therapy will be provided according to the respective needs of the individual patient.
