Summary

Cerebral palsy is attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing infant brain or fetal characterized by abnormalities of muscle tone, movement and motor skills. PNF technique is thought to have an impact on voluntary motor control and balance through stimulation of proprioceptors, so the aim of this study is to determine the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on selective motor control and balance on children with cerebral palsy.

Conditions

  • CP (Cerebral Palsy)

Interventions

OTHER

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques.

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching which include hold-relax and contract-relax for 6 sec hold, 10 repetitions and 2 min rest in between, for 5 day/week for 4 weeks along with conventional treatment for 40 minutes.

OTHER

Traditional physical therapy

Conventional therapy (ROMs, stretching, strengthening) of lower limbs for 40 minutes.
