Summary

This study will help to determine the beneficial effects of high frequency vibration on children with diplegic cerebral palsy in improving balance ,spasticity, strength of lower limb and quality of life and a comparison between the effect of simple conventional treatment and conventional management with the usage of vibrational therapy in cp patients.

Detailed description

A study "Effect of whole body vibration training on mobility in children with cerebral palsy "states Whole body vibrational therapy induce an improvement in independent ambulation and mobility of lower limb by strengthening of muscles along with the refinement of walking pattern ,gait speed and stride length in children with cerebral palsy. On the basis of our study a better treatment protocol can be designed for future in diplegic spastic cerebral palsy children.
