Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common disorder which leads to physical disability in children throughout life and begins in early childhood. In cerebral palsy spasticity is considered as a primary factor leads to much impairment which is inversely related to functional development that means greater the spasticity lowers the level of function. There are many ways to treat spasticity which involve stretching, strengthening, postural education, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, cryotherapy and myofascial release technique.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

myofascial release and quick icing

In experimental group the individuals will receive myofascial release and quick icing. Quick icing will be on ankle dorsiflexors by using ice pack in the target area. Quick icing will be applied for 10 minutes (time of application 10 seconds and a rest for 20 seconds). This treatment protocol will be 6 times/week for 4 weeks in the hospital setting. Mayofascial release will be given on the target ankle planterflexors. The subjects who will receive Myofascial Release will be positioned in prone with the treatment area exposed. The treatment will be applied by the therapist standing at the side of the patient. Then technique will be applied with different levels by following longitudinal movements according to subject's tolerance for duration of 3 minutes in each sitting. Patients will be given a rest time after each level in order to allow the tissue to soften. This treatment protocol will be 6 times/week for 4 weeks in the hospital setting.

myofascial release

In control group the individuals will receive only myofascial release on ankle planterflexors. The subjects who will receive Myofascial Release will be positioned in prone with the treatment area exposed. The treatment will be applied by the therapist standing at the side of the patient. Then technique will be applied with different levels by following longitudinal movements according to subject's tolerance for duration of 3 minutes in each sitting. Patients will be given a rest time after each level in order to allow the tissue to soften. This treatment protocol will be 6 times/week for 4 weeks in the hospital setting.
