Conditions

Cerebral Palsy

Brief summary

Children with cerebral palsy frequently experience balance issues and gait impairments; gait training is a crucial component of their rehabilitation because it greatly enhances the children's socialisation and quality of life.

Detailed description

Since there is no known cure for cerebral palsy, the focus of treatment is shifting to enhancing activities like walking and self-care. Enabling the child with cerebral palsy is the ultimate goal of therapy.

each participant of this groups will receive 4 weeks of FWT and 4 weeks of BWT (the training order of A group will FWT and BWT), with a washout period of 2 weeks during the post-intervention phase of the 1st period and the pre-intervention phase for the 2nd period.

COMBINATION_PRODUCTGrojup B

each participant of B group will receive 4 weeks of BWT and 4 weeks of FWT (the training order of group B will be BWT and FWT, opposite to group A), with a washout period of 2 weeks during the post-intervention phase of the 1st period and the pre-intervention phase for the 2nd period.
