Summary

Effects of Home Versus Hospital Based Action Observation Therapy on Balance, Mobility and Cognition in Diaplegic Cerebral Palsy. It will be a RCT we want to identify the effects of action observation therapy on patients coming to the hospital as compared to the patients at home. We will also identify the retaining effects of AOT. Our sample size will be 40 diplegic patients having no cognitive issues and able to walk with assistive device. We will exclude the patient who will suffer with severe comorbidities and visual impairment. We will randomly assign the patients into two groups A and B.A will receive Action observation therapy three times a day along with stretching exercises .while group B we perform AOT and stretching exercises at home with same frequency.

Conditions

  • Diplegic Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Action observation at home

Exercises included will contain four stages of exercises. Each stage will be followed for 2 weeks i.e. stage 1 for 1st and 2nd week, second stage for 3rd and 4th week, third stage for 5th and 6th week and fourth stage for 7th and 8th week of treatment. Each component of every stage will be played for 1 minute in front of participants, followed by 1 minute rest and then these exercises will be performed for 5 minutes. All participants will perform AOT 3 times/week for up to 8 weeks along with functional training for the rest of the weeks. Functional training will include stretching and isometric exercises (stretching of hamstring and calf muscle while quads isometric). Assessment will be done by using the tools at baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention. A final reading will be taken after 12 weeks to check the maintenance of training effects.
