Children With Hemiplegic cp, Effect of Plyometic Exercises
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of plyometric training versus strengthening exercise on quadriceps and hamstring muscles and quality of life and selective motor control of lower limb of children with hemiplegia.
Detailed description
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of plyometric training versus strengthening exercise on quadriceps and hamstring muscles and quality of life and selective motor control of lower limb of children with hemiplegia. Hand-Held dynamometer is used to assess the muscle strength of quadriceps and hamstring Selective control assessment of lower extremity scale is used to assess selective motor control of lower limb. Peds Ql scale is used to assess quality of life of the children. The methods of assessment are valid and reliable.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Muscle strength | three months | Muscle strength of quadriceps and hamstrings is assessed by Hand-Held dynamometer |
| Quality of life of children | three months | Quality of life of children (physical, psychological and social) is assessed by PedsQl scale PedsQl scale scoring from 0-100 scale The higher scores indicate better health related quality of life and lower scores indicate worse health related quality of life |
| Selective motor control of lower limb | three months | Selective motor control of lower limb is assessed by selective control assessment of lower extremity scale The scale has 3 grades for each joint (hip, knee, ankle, sub-talar and toes) 0 point : unable 1. point : impaired 2. points : normal |
