Study summary

To investigate the Effect of Multisensory environment stimulation therapy on postural control in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Read the detailed description

Fortypatients with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy will participate in this study.

The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Multisensory environment stimulation therapy, three times per week for three months. The evaluation methods are BIODEX, The Pediatric Balance Scale, and multidirection reach test

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. biodex balance system

    EVALUATION OF POSTURAL BALANCE USINGTHE BIODEX BALANCE SYSTEM

    Time frame: three months

  2. The Pediatric Balance Scale

    used to assess functional balance skills in school-aged children. The scale consists of 14 items that are scored from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56 points.

    Time frame: three months

Secondary outcomes

  1. multidirection reach test

    The Multi-Directional Reach Test (MDRT) measures balance and the limits of stability in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions by testing how far an individual can voluntarily reach forward, to the right, to the left, and lean backward, while standing with their feet flat on the ground

    Time frame: three months
