Summary

Cerebral Palsy is a non-progressive condition caused by early brain injury that affects movement, posture, and muscle tone. Spastic diplegia mainly involves the lower limbs, leading to stiffness, weakness, and abnormal gait patterns.

These impairments reduce functional independence and increase caregiver burden. Loaded Treadmill Training and Task Specific Training are two rehabilitation approaches used to improve strength and Gait function.

This study compares their effectiveness in improving gait and functional mobility in children with spastic diplegic CP.

Conditions

  • Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

DEVICE

Loaded Treadmill Training

loaded treadmill training is a gait rehabilitation approach in which children walk on a treadmill while external loads (such as ankle weights) are applied to the lower limbs. The load is gradually increased to enhance muscle strength, motor learning, and walking performance. This intervention helps improve stride length, cadence, gait velocity, and overall functional mobility in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

OTHER

Task specific Training

Task-specific training is a rehabilitation approach based on repetitive practice of functional activities. Children perform tasks such as standing, walking, stepping, and balance activities in a structured therapy program. This approach aims to enhance coordination, strength, motor control, and functional mobility in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
