Summary

The study was conducted to examine the impact of the action observation training (AOT) on gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Detailed description

Thirty children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy aged from 4 to 7 years were randomly allocated into two groups of equal number; study group (A) and control group (B). Both groups received designed physical therapy program for 45 minutes, three times/ per week for two successive months. In addition, study group received action observation (AO) training for 30 minutes per session. All phases of gait cycle and functional ability of all children participating in both groups was assessed by kenovia software and gross motor function measure (GMFM) walking, running and jumping domain.

Conditions
