Summary

The aim of this study is to determine and compare the effects of Frenkel's and core stability exercises on the motor function, postural stability and core muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy (CP)

Interventions

OTHER

Frenkel's exercises

In this group, participants will receive Frenkel's exercises, and the total treatment session will be 60 minutes of routine physical therapy, i.e., breathing, stretching, ROM's, and joint mobility, with rest intervals in between for 20 minutes. To begin the intervention, the investigator will perform Frenkel's exercises for 40 minutes in total, with rest intervals between each exercise, initially performing 5 repetitions and then gradually progressing to 10 and then 15 repetitions, respectively, after 2 weeks.

OTHER

Core stability exercises

This group participants will receive core stability exercises, and the total treatment session will also be 60 minutes. The routine physical therapy includes breathing, stretching, joint rotations, ROM's, and frequent periods of rest in between the treatment sessions. To begin the intervention the investigator will perform core stability exercises for 40 minutes in total with rest intervals between each exercise and initially performing 5 repetitions and then gradually progressing to 10 and then 15 repetitions, respectively after 2 weeks.
