Summary

Spider Cage is a part of universal exercise unit. It is a suspension system, which works with use of belts, elastic cords and Thera suits (Thera suits especially for cerebral palsy). Cords are dynamic and provides an appropriate amount of support with the help of which patient can perform movement independently. Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a condition where non progressive disorders of posture caused by abnormal development of, or damage to, motor control centers of brain resulting in abnormal movements.

Detailed description

It will be Randomized Controlled trial in which non probability convenience sampling technique will be used. Two groups of 8 to 12 age will be formed in which participants will be randomly divided by lottery method. Group A will be given modified Thera suits and the other group B will receive spider cage therapy on trunk stability and pelvic control. Improvement will be identified by Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS), Trunk impairment scale (TIS) and Gross motor function classification system. (GMFCS) level I-II. The result after statistical analysis will show that which treatment will be more effective. Results will be analyzed on SPSS 29. Data analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA
