Core stability training and conventional therapy on sitting balance in Hypotonic cerebral palsy
Other: Core stability training with conventional therapy
Vestibular stimulation and conventional therapy on sitting balance in hypotonic cerebral palsy
Other: Vestibular Stimulation with conventional therapy
Basic core stability training with supine bridging, lateral weight shifting and conventional therapy with trunk facilitation. Sessions will be conducted 5 time per week for 8 weeks. Sessions lasts for 30 minutes.
Vestibular stimulation with gym ball and swing along with conventional therapy. Sessions will be conducted 5 time per week for 8 weeks. Sessions lasts for 30 minutes.
Segmental assessment of trunk control
To evaluate trunk stability and it has 7 levels. Each level consists of 3 components(static, active and reactive). Trunk stability will be measured baseline (0 week), mid intervention(4 weeks) and post intervention(8 weeks).
Time frame: week 0 , week 4, week 8
Pediatric Balance Scale
To assess static and dynamic balance. It consists of 14 items scoring from (0=unable, 1=maximal assistance , 2= moderate assistance , 3=minimal assistance). Total score is 56.Static and dynamic balance will be measured baseline (0 week), mid intervention(4 weeks) and post intervention(8 weeks).
Time frame: week 0 , week 4, week 8
Pediatric Evaluation of Disability inventory
To assess functional mobility and daily activities. it consists of 3 domains scoring from (0= child does not perform activity , 1 = child perform activity). Total functional score is 12. Functional mobility will be measured baseline (0 week), mid intervention(4 weeks) and post intervention(8 weeks).
Time frame: week 0 , week 4, week 8
Reaching Performance Scale
To assess quality of reaching movements. It has 6 components scoring from(0=no performance , 1= poor performance, 2= moderate performance, 3= good performance) Total score is 18.Quality of reaching movement will be measured baseline (0 week), mid intervention(4 weeks) and post intervention(8 weeks).
Time frame: week 0 , week 4, week 8
Plan to share: No
Started Jul 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2027, 8 months after the start.
Of 902 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cerebral Palsy, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31. This study's planned 8 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 921 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31.
