Cerebral Palsy Spastic Diplegia
Conditions
Brief summary
To evaluate the effect of blood flow restriction combined with aerobic training on chest muscle strength in individual with diaplegic cerebral palsy
Detailed description
combining blood flow restriction with aerobic training may enhance muscle function and endurance by increasing localized metabolic stress and systemic cardiovascular effects inducing muscular hypertrophy and strength gaining with low load training especially chest muscles which affected in individuals with diaplegic cerebral palsy.
Interventions
OTHERblood flow restriction training
individual will do aerobic training .

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chest muscle strength | 3 months | chest muscle strength will be measured by handheld dynamometry measured in Newton |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pulmonary function tests | 3 months | pulmonary function tests in the form of forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in one second will be measured in Liters |
| sub-maximal aerobic capacity | 3 months | sub-maximal aerobic capacity will be measured using six minute walk test measured in seconds |
| quality f life | 3 months | quality f life will be measured using the pediatric quality of life inventory measured in scores from zero point to four points |
| oxygen saturation and heart rate response | 3 months | oxygen saturation and heart rate response will be measured using pulse oximeter measured in percentage for oxygen saturation and pulses per minute for heart rate |
