Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in childhood. Respiratory muscle weakness and a low upper to lower chest diameter ratio are common respiratory dysfunction manifestations in those children which negatively affect their quality of life..

Conditions

  • To Compare the Effectiveness of Hydrotherapy Versus Aerobic Exercise on Pulmonary Function in Hemiplegic Children With Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Conventional physical therapy

1. Deep breathing exercise. 2. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise. 3. Pursed lip breathing exercise.

OTHER

Hydrotherapy

1. Water walking exercise. 2. Forward lunges exercise. 3. Single leg balance exercise. 4. Side stepping exercise. 5. Push ups exercise. 6. Standing knee lifts exercise.

OTHER

Aerobic exercise

Aerobic exercise in form of treadmill training when each child was standing on the treadmill, should be ensure that this standing in an upright position, and according to each child, the therapist corrected the height of the handrails. Ask the child to keep looking forwards along the walking on the treadmill aiming to encourage the setting of walking free. The treadmill training would be completed for each child when the child completes three stages in 1-min training cycles. First stage: the child grasped on to the rails with both hands in first 15 s of every 1-min. Second stage: the child grasped on to the railings with one hand in the second 15 s. And final stage: the child didn't grasp on to the railings in last 30 s. Every child performed this procedure twenty times
