Athetoid CP, Cerebral Palsy (CP)
Conditions
Brief summary
This is an RCT aiming to explore the comparison of Sensory Integration Therapy and Conventional Physical Therapy on Gross Motor Function in Children with Athetoid Cerebral Palsy
Interventions
OTHERSensory Integration Therapy and Conventional Physical Therapy
Three sessions per week for 6 weeks, Moderate Intensity, 45 minutes per session Vestibular Control (5 minutes): * Slow linear swinging * Therapy-ball side shifts * Graded rocking Proprioceptive Input (5 minutes): * Joint compression * Weighted pushing/pulling * Thera-band control tasks Midline \& Postural Stability (5 minutes): * Controlled reaching * Supported sitting on wedge/bolster * Trunk stabilization task Tactile-Motor Integration (5 minutes): Vestibular Control (5 minutes): * Slow linear swinging * Therapy-ball side shifts * Graded rocking Proprioceptive Input (5 minutes): * Joint compression * Weighted pushing/pulling * Thera-band control tasks Midline \& Postural Stability (5 minutes): * Controlled reaching * Supported sitting on wedge/bolster * Trunk stabilization task Tactile-Motor Integration (5 minutes):
OTHERConventional Physical Therapy
Three sessions per week for 6 weeks, Moderate Intensity, 45 minutes per session 1. Stretching (10 min): • Hamstrings, hip flexors, heel cord, trunk 2. Strengthening (15 min): * Core stabilization (bridging, supported plank), * LL strengthening (mini-squats, step training) 3. Balance Training (10 min): Sitting on therapy ball with support, standing balance with controlled BOS 4. Gait \& Functional Mobility (10 min): Parallel bar gait Controlled stepping Sit-stand \& kneeling Standing transitions
