Summary

The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of TheraTogs orthotic undergarment and strapping system on increasing axial stability that will reflect on improving balance and walking performance in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy.

Detailed description

The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of TheraTogs orthotic undergarment and strapping system on increasing axial stability that will reflect on improving balance and walking performance in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Forty children with dyskinetic CP will be assigned randomly into two groups (A \& B). Control group (A) will receive conventional rehabilitation program for postural correction 2 hours/3 sessions weekly/3 successive months. Study group (B) will receive conventional rehabilitation program as in group (A) in addition to wearing Thera Togs soft orthotic undergarment. Patients evaluation will be carried out before and after the intervention programs to assess gait and balance performance using Noraxons myo pressure plate and Biodex balance system.
