Summary

Brain lesions cause cerebral palsy, a chronic condition that affects movement, posture, and balance. Its causes range in age from pregnancy to postpartum, and they can impact the neurological, musculoskeletal, and sensory systems. This causes problems with balance, movement, and posture. It is essential to intervene early for improved life quality. Maintaining a constant center of gravity within your support base is referred to as balance. Walking is putting one foot on the ground at all times and lifting and lowering each foot in turn. The stability of the trunk and core is necessary for muscle coordination and deliberate motions. A study compares the efficiency of trunk stabilization and core exercises to enhance balance and evaluates mobility changes, such as altered muscle strength, endurance, and gait, as a result of two treatment approaches.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

core stability

In this study the experimental group will perform core stability exercises 3 times per week for an 8-week period and each session of 30 to 45 minutes, the core stability exercises will work on abdominals and trunk muscles with challenges.Subjects received 25 min conventional therapy in addition to 30 30-minute trunk stabilization exercise program conducted for 3 days\\week on non-consecutive days. Passive stretching exercises are applied to all tight muscles, including the hamstrings and calf muscles in the lower limb. It is performed five times initially, building up to ten repetitions, stretching for 5 times, and then allowing relaxation for 5time. Strengthening exercises for back, hip, and knee extensor muscles (for 10 minutes).
