An interventional study of Selected physical therapy program and Modified physical therapy program to increase sensory input in Cerebral Palsy, sponsored by Cairo University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 6 Years to 10 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-11-14.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Purpose: to investigate the effect of sensory integration therapy on balance and functional mobility in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Methods: children with spastic cerebral palsy, the children were assigned to a control group and a study group. Balance was assessed using the Biodex balance system and functional mobility was assessed using the Timed Up and Go test.

Methods: children with spastic cerebral palsy, the children were assigned to a control group and a study group. Balance was assessed using the Biodex balance system and functional mobility was assessed using the Timed Up and Go test. The control group received selected physical therapy, while the study group received the previously mentioned selected physical therapy program modified to increase sensory input. Treatment sessions for both groups were conducted for both groups for 1 hour once a day, three times per week for two successive months.
