Summary

Cerebral palsy is not a progressive disease but movement problem and musculoskeletal disorders in cerebral palsy change with time. Children with CP usually with the lower limb involvement presents with muscle weakness, limited muscular control which results in muscular insufficiency, coordination and balance impairment. These impairments effect the normal activities of child in daily living. There are many children who have good cognition but poor lower limb coordination which is leading cause of disability in them and multiple factors are responsible for them like lake of awareness in parents, no time, expensive therapy program and inappropriate techniques.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Stationary Cycling

In addition to the conventional physical therapy, children in this group will receive 10-15 minutes of stationary cycle training, 3 times a week for 6 weeks.

OTHER

Progressive Functional Training

In addition to the conventional physical therapy, the training will follow a 6-week progressive functional training program for lower extremities. These exercises will include sit-to-stand exercise, lateral/forward step-up exercise (i.e. climbing a stair or stepping up onto a kerb), and half-knee rise exercise (i.e. rising from the ground). All exercises will be performed in 1-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions, with a 90 second rest in between the sets. Each exercise will be performed within 10-15 minutes. Training session will be given 3 times a week. During the training, intensity will be progressively increased by increasing the repetitions
