Summary

Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term that covers a group of non-progressive motor impairment syndromes that are associated with abnormalities in the brain particularly during the early stages of its development. CP usually involves a number of musculoskeletal and neurological problems they include spasticity, contractures, dystonia, abnormal growth, poor trunk control, and poor balance. Poor trunk control leads to a disturbance in activities of daily living along with postural issues. PNF techniques and Swiss ball exercises target the trunk muscles by stimulating the proprioceptors and by allowing maximum resistance to them respectively. The aim of the study is to do a comparison of Pelvic neuromuscular facilitation techniques and Swiss ball exercises in improving trunk control in children with diplegic cerebral palsy.
