Summary

Purpose of the study: To evaluate the effect of closed kinetic chain on hip stability after selective dorsal rhizotomy on spastic cerebral palsy.

Detailed description

* This is a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial, conducted at Kafr El sheikh Hospital. * Sixty-six children of both genders. * The study will include children (age 5-14years) post selective dorsal rhizotomy. * Children meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: * Experimental Group: children in this group will receive closed kinetic chain. * Control Group: Patients in this group will receive Traditional physical therapy. * Randomization will be achieved using computer-generated random numbers to ensure an equal distribution of patients between the two groups.

Conditions

• Cerebral Palsy
• Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Close kinetic chain exercise group	●Close kinetic chain exercise group: group A will receive forward step-ups, lateral step-ups, squats, sit-to-stand, and stoop-and-recover exercises. session will be initiated with a 10 min warm-up period, including stretching of the major muscles and muscle groups, then 40 min different exercises and terminated with a 10 min cool-down period in the form of aerobic exercises.
PROCEDURE	Traditional physical therapy.	●Traditional physiotherapy: group B will receive stretching for the lower extremity muscles, namely hip flexors and adductors, hamstrings, and calf muscles; and strengthening exercises for core muscles, hip extensors, flexors and abductors, internal and external rotators of the hip, flexors and extensors of the knee, ankle dorsi flexors, kneeling exercises, and standing and gait training
