Sponsor's own description

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by motor impairments, including spasticity, muscle tightness, and limited range of motion in the limbs. Myofascial Release Technique (MRT) has shown promise as a non-invasive intervention for addressing musculoskeletal dysfunctions and improving range of motion in various populations. The study will employ a randomized controlled trial design to investigate the effects of myofascial release technique (MRT) with and without a segmental vibrator on upper limb functions in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The study will be conducted at PSRD and Rising Sun Institute Lahore. A sample of children aged 6-12 years with a diagnosis of spastic CP will be recruited and randomly assigned to two groups: MRT with a segmental vibrator, and MRT without a segmental vibrator. The MRT interventions will be provided by trained therapists for a specified duration and frequency over a period of 4 weeks. Spasticity will be measured by the Modified Ashwarth Scale, Upper limb extremity function via Pediatric Upper Extremity Motor Activity Log-Revised (PMAL), and range of motion will be assessed by Goniometer. Data will be analyzed using appropriate statistical tests to determine the effects of the interventions on upper limb functions in children with spastic CP. Ethical considerations will be followed, and informed consent will be obtained from the participant's parents or legal guardians.
