Cerebral Palsy
Conditions
Brief summary
To investigate the Effect of Multisensory environment stimulation therapy on postural control in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
Detailed description
Fortypatients with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy will participate in this study. The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Multisensory environment stimulation therapy, three times per week for three months. The evaluation methods are BIODEX, The Pediatric Balance Scale, and multidirection reach test
Interventions
OTHERMultisensory environment stimulation therapy
A Multi Sensory Environment is a dedicated space or room where sensory stimulation can be controlled (intensified or reduced), presented in isolation or combination, packaged for active or passive interaction
OTHERselected physical therapy intervention
therapeutic balance training and functional therapeutic exercises

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| biodex balance system | three months | EVALUATION OF POSTURAL BALANCE USINGTHE BIODEX BALANCE SYSTEM |
| The Pediatric Balance Scale | three months | used to assess functional balance skills in school-aged children. The scale consists of 14 items that are scored from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56 points. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| multidirection reach test | three months | The Multi-Directional Reach Test (MDRT) measures balance and the limits of stability in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions by testing how far an individual can voluntarily reach forward, to the right, to the left, and lean backward, while standing with their feet flat on the ground |
