Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of a Core Stability Program on abdominal endurance and constipation severity in wheelchair-bound children with cerebral palsy. It seeks to determine whether targeted core strengthening exercises can improve muscular endurance of the abdominal region while also alleviating constipation symptoms, thereby enhancing overall functional health and quality of life in this population.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Core Stability Program

The intervention consists of a structured core stability program designed to improve trunk control and abdominal muscle function in wheelchair-bound children with cerebral palsy. The program includes targeted exercises focusing on strengthening deep abdominal and trunk muscles through progressive, age-appropriate, and functional activities performed under physiotherapist supervision over a defined period.

OTHER

traditional Physiotherapy

Participants in this arm will receive conventional physiotherapy focusing on improving abdominal endurance. The intervention will include exercises such as static and dynamic trunk strengthening, pelvic tilts, assisted sit-ups, breathing exercises, and postural control activities. Sessions will be conducted under the supervision of a trained physiotherapist, typically 3-5 times per week for a specified duration. The program aims to enhance core muscle strength, improve trunk stability, and support functional activities in wheelchair-bound children with cerebral palsy.
