Sponsor's own description

Almost 2 to 3 out of every 1000 children have Cerebral palsy in Pakistan.Spastic type of CP is dominant about 75%, diplegia (40%) and hemiplegic are (35.5%).Spastic diplegics have tightness of lower limb more than upper limb.Their chief complaints are reduced mobility,impaired balance and coordination and lack of postural control and stability.Calisthenic training is sort of strengthening exercises in which patient use his/her own body weight as a resistance.

Calisthenic training aims to reduce movement limitation,contracture formation and improves patient's mobility for daily transfers and ambulation,active participation of patient in indoor and outdoor activities and enhance postural stability and controle during routine tasks. The current study aims to determine the effects of calisthenic training on mobility and ADL performance in spastic diplegic cerebral palsy children aged 5-12 years fulfilling the GMFCS criteria levels 1-3. A randomized control trial will be conducted in multidisciplinary lab of FUCP, department of physical medicine and peads and rehabilitation of Fauji Foundation Hospital on the sample of 32 participants. The subjects will be randomized into two groups by sealed opaque envelope method. Baseline assessment would be done by using WEEFIM measurement assessment scale for mobility and ADL performance, pediatric balance assessment Scale for postural control. Data will be collected at baseline before intervention, after 3 weeks and finally after 6 weeks of intervention. Interventional group will be receiving calisthenic training and conventional physical therapy while control group will be receiving conventional physical therapy alone. Exercise training would be done for a total of 12 sessions for 6 weeks, twice a week with each session lasting 45 minutes. Analysis would be done by using SPSS version 21. Ethical approval will be obtained from ERC of FUSH. Informed written consent will be obtained from all participants.
