Summary

Cerebral palsy occurs in 2-2.5 per 1000 live births, seems to be the most common cause of lifelong physical disability, and has an impact on the child, caregivers, and society. The incidence of cerebral palsy continues to rise owing to the large numbers of premature and high-risk infants who survive. Task-oriented arm approaches promote intensive, meaningful, and goal-oriented training in subjects, and the voluntary functional activities of these subjects possibly reduce their motor disabilities.

Conditions

  • Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

DEVICE

Group A

This group will receive TOA which include Weight transfers from a standing position and stepping in various star-type directions, Sit-ups from different heights with the hemiplegic lower limb behind the normal lower limb, From a kneeling position alternately projecting the lower limb forward, From a standing position with a limited base of support turning head and trunk right to left, Continuous walking on a treadmill for 10 minutes, Ascending and descending of stairs, Crossing 4 obstacles with continuous walking, Walking while simultaneously pushing a stroller, Walking while holding an object, Walking on different surfaces and slopes, The intervention took place for 5 days a week for 6 week for 20 minutes. Pre measurement was taken before the intervention and after 6 weeks post measurement was taken.

DEVICE

Group B

This group will receive PNF techniques for trunk control. Rhythmic initiation and Rhythmic stabilization for a span of 20 minutes on both sides. In rhythmic initiation patient will move passively from trunk flexion into extension and then back to the flexed position When the patient is relaxed and moving easily, ask for active assisted motion Then begin resisting the motion then patient will perform independently in rhythmic stabilization Resist an isometric contraction of the patient's trunk flexor muscles patient will match the resistance in front and then in back
