Sponsor's own description
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate motor development outcomes in children aged 5-12 years with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. The Primary Outcome measures will be Gross motor development, gait, trunk control, balance, and coordination, and will be assessed using the Shoaib Sensorimotor Development Tool (SMDT), Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88), Jacks' observational Gait Analysis scale, Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), Time Up and Go Test, and Heel-to-Shin test. The fine motor development as a secondary outcome measure will be assessed using the Box and Block Test (BBT). Before allocating participants within the study, informed consent will be obtained to ensure rigorous adherence to the Principles of Ethical Research as outlined in the Helsinki Declaration for Ethical Research. Baseline readings will be recorded using the selected tools against the pre-defined outcome measures. Randomization will be done through an online tool, and the Participants will be divided into two intervention arms. The control group will receive conventional Bobath therapy, and the experimental group will undergo body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT), with both interventions administered over a period of 4 weeks, 5 days a week. Each session will be structured as follows: 5 minutes of warm-up exercises to prepare the body, followed by a 30-minute core treatment session focused on therapeutic interventions, concluding with 5 minutes of cooldown exercises to promote recovery and relaxation. This sequence ensures a balanced approach while maintaining the total session duration of 40 minutes, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Statistical analysis of the results will be conducted using SPSS software to determine the significance of the findings. The Shapiro-Wilk test will be employed to determine the normality of the data. If the data distribution is normal, an independent t-test will be employed for between-group comparison; otherwise, non-parametric alternatives will be applied. Within group analysis, a paired t-test will be applied to evaluate differences and the results will be reported.
