Summary

The randomized control trail was to determine the effects of additional functional Strength Training on mobility in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.

Detailed description

The aim of functional physiotherapy is to train the child by emphasizing him to learn motor abilities. These motor abilities are those that are thought to be though either by children with cerebral palsy or their parents. Functional activities are learned by the repetitive practice of goal-oriented tasks in a given functional situation. This approach instead of focusing on normality, it focuses on functionality. In this way, it is very necessary for the child to practice a given task functionally rather than normally.No studies have been done to improve mobility and strength in lower limb in children with hemiplegia cerebral palsy. So for this reason, this study is conducted to investigate the effects of additional functional Strength Training on mobility in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.In this way we can make these children an active participant of the society.

Conditions

• Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
• Mobility

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Functional Strength Training	In addition to conventional therapy, experimental group was also given functional strength training program. Functional strength training was given as home program consisting of ten tasks.The ten tasks were STS, one leg standing, weight shifting(from one side of body to other), step-ups, lateral step-ups, squatting against wall, picking an object from standing position, walking forward, walking backward and kicking the ball.
