Effects of Whole-body Vibration on Spasticity, Balance and Mobility in Spastic Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Group 1 Experimental group and Group 2 Control group for Cerebral Palsy, Spastic. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
To target spasticity, balance and mobility whole body vibration exercises along with selected physical therapy is given to experimental group. Control group will receive only selected physical therapy that includes sstretching exercises, gait training, ffacilitation of postural reactions, ffacilitation of standing and weight shift and facilitation of standing balance by using a balance board.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Stretching exercises for Achilles tendon, hamstrings, hip flexors and adductors of lower limbs, upper abdominal and pectoralis muscles. Facilitation of postural reactions, including: facilitation of righting, equilibrium and protective reactions from sitting on ball. Facilitation of standing and weight shift. Facilitation of standing balance by tilting the child from standing to different directions (forward, back-ward and side-way) using a balance board. Gait training: by forward, backward, and side-way walking between parallel bars. Whole body vibration.
