Summary

PURPOSE:

The current study aims to:

* Determine the effect of multisensory motor imagery training on muscle performance including (peak torque, work, power) of trunk and knee flexors and extensors in children with spastic diplegia.
* Determine the effect of multisensory motor imagery training on coordination, strength and agility in children with spastic diplegia.

BACKGROUND: Multisensory motor imagery training has an effect on muscle performance and coordination in children with spastic diplegia

HYPOTHESES: There will be no effect of multisensory motor imagery training on muscle performance, coordination and strength and agility in children with spastic diplegic CP.

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there an effect of multisensory motor imagery training on coordination, strength and agility in children with spastic diplegia?

Conditions

  • Spastic Diplegia
  • Motor Imagery

Interventions

OTHER

motor imagery training

Children in the study group will receive multisensory motor imagery training program 45 minutes. The training protocol consists of several parts that will be run through every training session according to Kumar et al. (2016): * Watching videos of selected multisensory motor skills for 10 minutes. * Mental rehearsal of these motor skills 10 minutes. * Overt practice of the multisensory motor skills for 25 minutes. On the videos, the performance of the skill by a child aged 8-12 years will be shown. All the exercises will be looped to repeat for six to seven times. While projecting the video on the laptop screen, it will be ensured that the children are in a comfortable seating position and the screen is in their visual field. Repetition of the exercises was based on their ability which could be a minimum of five repetitions per session to a maximum of ten repetitions per exercise session.
