Summary

This study compared the efficacy of therapeutic ultrasound (US) and whole-body vibration (WBV) as adjuncts to a standardized passive stretching regimen on improving knee joint range of motion (ROM) and functional capacity in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP).

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy (CP)

Interventions

DEVICE

ultrasound

Received continuous ultrasound (1 MHz, 1.0 W/cm², 5 min per hamstring) using a Chattanooga Intelect Mobile 2 unit with a medium-sized transducer head and coupling gel

DEVICE

whole body vibration

Performed exercises on a Power Plate Pro 5 vibration platform. Parameters were set to a frequency of 20 Hz and a fixed amplitude of 2 mm (peak-to-peak displacement). The child maintained a semi-squat posture (approximately 30 knee flexion) for two 5-minute bouts separated by a 1-minute rest.
