Summary

Cerebral palsy is a brain disorder that affects how children move their bodies. Children with spastic hemiplegic CP have stiffness on one side of the body, making it hard to walk and balance. This study will test a special exercise program called Coordinative Locomotor Training (CLT). CLT uses running and skating movements to train both arms and legs to work together. The investigator want to see if CLT works better than regular physiotherapy for improving coordination and balance in participants. Half of the children will do CLT, and the other half will do regular exercises. The investogar will measure their balance and walking ability before and after 4 weeks of training.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Hemiplegia
  • Spastic cp

Interventions

OTHER

Coordinative Locomotor Training

Participants perform PNF sprinter pattern (flexion/adduction/external rotation on one side with extension/abduction/internal rotation on the opposite side) and skater pattern (reciprocal upper and lower limb movements). Exercises are done for 3 sets of 5 reps, 10-sec holds, 30 min/session, 3x/week for 4 weeks.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy

rotational exercises (5 min), then passive stretching of hamstrings, quadriceps, and ankle plantarflexors combined with resistance training using elastic bands (15 min).
