Summary

Cerebral Palsy is a developmental disorder caused by damage to the brain before, during or after birth. Spastic Cerebral Palsy is one of the most common types of cerebral Palsy. It affects about 80% of cerebral palsy. Spastic CP is characterized by increased muscle tone, jerky movements, joint stiffness, and muscle tightness. Spastic Cerebral primarily affects strength, coordination, and balance resulting in gait difficulties and affecting gross motor functioning. These abnormalities affect the very basic activities of daily life (ADLs). Even if the child is able to walk the motor skills are usually disturbed which are very important to improve and maintain gross motor functioning. Physical therapy plays a vital role in overcoming these issues.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Lower Extremity Functional Training

motor learning, skill progression, and resistance training to target the balance, strength, and coordination impairments of the lower extremities. Motor learning will be based on strength and balance training using tandem walks, balance boards, and one-leg standing. Skill progression will be used to challenge the LIFT and the strength training will be achieved by performing sit-to-stand, sit-ups, stair climbs, and vertical jumps

OTHER

conventional physical therapy

Resistive Exercises Stretching exercise of quadriceps , hamstring adductors and abductors.
