Sponsor's own description
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by damage of the developing brain and marked by impairments such as increased muscle tone. Physical therapy (PT) is an important element for spasticity management include some modalities as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Purpose: To determine the effect of TENS on inhibition of upper limb spasticity in adult patients with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods: Twenty-four adult spastic CP patients aged from 18 to 45 years old with grade 2 to 3 spasticity according to Modified Ashworth Scale will be randomly assigned into two equal groups: TENS group and conventional therapy group. Both groups will receive conventional therapy, while TENS group in addition will receive TENS over elbow flexors with parameter setup of (pulse frequency= 100 Hz, pulse duration= 250 μs, time=30 mints) 3 sessions per week for successive 4 weeks. Outcome measures: Modified Ashworth scale for the spasticity and digital goniometer for elbow joint range of motion, Barthel index scale for upper limb activity of daily living. Follow-up measures will be calculated three times (preintervention, post 2 weeks, and post 4 weeks).
