Effectiveness of Whole-Body Vibration on Lower Limb Motor Function and Spasticity in Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Physiotherapy for Spastic Cerebral Palsy and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Cerebral Palsy is the most common cause of severe physical disability in childhood and may present difficulties and limitations that will have an impact on their independence and integration in all social areas. Within interventions aiming to manage CP Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) has shown some benefits such as reducing spasticity or improving strength and functionality of the lower limbs. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness on motor function and spasticity of the lower limbs by adding an intervention with WBV to an evidence-based multimodal physiotherapy treatment in children with CP.
