Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the primary causes of disability effecting majority of pediatric population. Cerebral Palsy is considered a neurological disorder caused by a non-progressive brain injury or malformation that occurs while the child's brain is under development. The worldwide incidence of cerebral palsy is it affects three to four individuals out of 1000 individuals in the general population. Cerebral palsy has different types depending upon the severity of disease or the area of the body it is affecting. Amongst the different types of CP, spastic diplegia is the most common type which mainly affects the lower extremities and lesser extent to upper extremities. It mainly affects functional performance and gait.

Detailed description

This study will be conducted on 20 subjects which would be equally divided into experimental and control groups. Trunk control measurement scale (TCMS) and quality of upper extremity skills test (QUEST) will be the tools used in this study. Pre and post values of the effects of intervention will be evaluated. The significance of this study is that it will help us how to improve trunk control and upper extremity function in spastic dipegic children. Data will be analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Mean and standard deviation will be calculated. Appropriate statistical test will be used after checking normality of data.
