No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of an elastic lower extremity orthosis on gait and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy who present with an in-toeing gait pattern. The study compares conventional neurodevelopmental therapy alone to therapy combined with the orthosis.

Conditions

  • Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

DEVICE

Elastic Lower Extremity Orthosis

Participants in the intervention group receive conventional neurodevelopmental therapy combined with an elastic lower extremity orthosis designed to correct internal rotation deformities and improve gait and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy. The orthosis applies elastic tension around the femoral region and tibia to target rotational problems.

BEHAVIORAL

Neurodevelopmental Therapy

Participants receive conventional neurodevelopmental therapy only.
