Summary

This study is a randomized control trial and aims to determine the effects of Action Observation on balance and mobility in patients with cerebral palsy compared to training without action observation.

Detailed description

Effetcs of Action observation will be assessed for functional performance which includes the parameters of balance and mobility. Spastic CP children agd 5-12 will be recruited in the study. The participants would be assessed through Modified Ashworth scale, GMFCS, Pediatrics balance scale and GMFM-88 . Informed Consent will ne taken after which the participants will be recruited into the two groups, where one group will recieve training with Action observation and other group will receive training without Action observation. Baseline and Post-treatment measurements will be taken for analysis.

Conditions

• Cerebral Palsy (CP)
