Summary

This study was done to:

* investigate the combined effect of functional electrical stimulation with core stabilization exercises on pelvic tilting in children with spastic diplegia.
* To investigate the combined effect of functional electrical stimulation with core stabilization exercises on standing balance in children with spastic diplegia.

Conditions

  • Functional Electrical Stimulation
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Core Stability

Interventions

OTHER

designed physical therapy program

a one-hour physical therapy program, focusing on abdominal and back muscle activation and improving balance during standing. The program includes exercises like supine on wedges, prone on wedges, weight shifting, and balance training.

OTHER

core stabilization exercise with neuromuscular electrical stimulation

The text describes various exercises for children to improve their physical abilities. These exercises include bridging, crab, plank, superhero, wheelbarrow walk, and kneeling on balls. The placement of electrodes on the gluteus maximus and rectus abdominis muscles is determined using anatomical landmarks. The electric current is generated using a biphasic symmetrical waveform with pulse width and intensity, and the stimulus frequency is adjusted to 35 Hz. The neuromuscular electric stimulation mode is used in a Synchronous mode.
