Sponsor's own description
This randomized clinical research will assess the impact of a Pediatric Endurance and Limb Strengthening (PEDAL) program, both with and without Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), on balance, gait, and mobility in children diagnosed with cerebral palsy. A total of 26 individuals will be recruited via purposive sampling and randomly allocated to two groups utilizing the sealed envelope method. Group A will undergo the PEDAL program in conjunction with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) administered to the quadriceps during stationary cycling, whereas Group B will participate in the PEDAL program exclusively, without EMS. Both groups will participate in supervised sessions three times weekly for four weeks, with each session lasting 60 minutes and comprising a warm-up, cycling-based strength and endurance training, and cool-down stretches. EMS parameters will be implemented in accordance with published protocols for strength (30-80 Hz, 150-350 μs) and endurance (8-35 Hz, 150-250 μs) training. Outcome measures, comprising the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, and Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL™️) questionnaire, will be evaluated at baseline and following four weeks of intervention. The data will be examined utilizing SPSS version 27. This study aims to determine whether incorporating EMS into a structured pediatric strengthening and endurance regimen yields greater improvements in motor function compared to exercise alone.
