Summary

The study aims to determine the effects of dynamic flex cast with neurodevelopmental treatment on gross motor functions and gait in children with cerebral palsy.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Dynamic flex cast with neurodevelopmental treatment

Neurodevelopmental therapy in combination with dynamic flex cast to treat experimental group. Three times a week, 1 hour session per day. Dynamic flex casting is casting which manipulate bone alignment and maintains range of motion or sustained stretch. Casting will be changed weekly for 3 months. Neuro developmental approach is individualized treatment which is attuned to each child's specific problems, aims and goals. Key elements in NDT are: facilitation (using sensory inputs to improve motor performance), management of compensatory motor behavior, and an overall management strategy (a 24-hour interdisciplinary management approach) NDT involves task specific postures and movements.

OTHER

Rigid Ankle foot Orthosis with neurodevelopmental treatment

Rigid ankle foot orthosis will be applied to ankle joint at the start of intervention. Neurodevelopmental treatment will be applied to both groups with protocol; Three times a week, 1 hour session per day. Assessment on 1st day,6th week and 12th week
