Comparison of Task-oriented Activity Based Neurodevelopmental Principles and Gross Motor Task Training.
Condition: Cerebral Palsy
MeSH terms: Cerebral Palsy
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      This study aims to find the comparison of task oriented activity based neurodevelopmental
      principles and gross motor task training on balance, trunk control and functional mobility in
      children with cerebral palsy.
    

Detailed description: 
      Cerebral palsy (CP) being a non-progressive neurodevelopmental condition, is the leading
      cause of chronic disability in children, making them physically and mentally handicapped and
      socially unapproachable. The low tone of the torso also causes postural instability, lack of
      mobility, and muscle stiffness in the legs. Therapeutic intervention for children with
      cerebral palsy should be composed of goal directed, functional, and meaningful activities by
      considering the clinical type, degree of disability, cognitive level and interest of the
      child. The trunk being the central key point of the body, proximal trunk control is a
      prerequisite for distal limb movement control, balance, and functional mobility. Since
      children with cerebral palsy show damage not only in the function and an ability to
      accomplish tasks, but also in the quality of movement. The objective of this study will be to
      help clinicians regarding the effectiveness of task-oriented training and gross motor
      functional training for children with cerebral palsy.

      This will be a Randomized Clinical Trial in which participants of age 5 - 12 years with
      cerebral palsy will be assigned randomly for the study. Population will be taken from
      Physical Therapy Department of Agile Rehabilitation Complex, Bahawalpur. After taking
      consent, demographics including age, gender and birth history etc. will be recorded.
      Questionnaires will be distributed among parents and their responses will be collected.
      Questionnaires for trunk impairment scale, postural assessment scale, pediatric balance scale
      and GMFM-88 will be used as tools of assessment. The collected data will be analyzed in
      Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 27.0.
    

Intervention name(s): Task-oriented activities based on NDT (TOA-NDT) principle and Conventional Physical Therapy; Gross motor task training and Conventional physical therapy (CPT)
Intervention type(s): Other; Other
Intervention description(s): This will be a randomized clinical trial. patients are divided into two groups. one of them will undergo task-oriented activities along with conventional physical therapy treatment, while the other will undergo gross motor task training along with conventional physical therapy treatment. Purpose is to determine that which of them has greater benefit in improving balance trunk control and functional mobility in children with cerebral palsy.; This will be a randomized clinical trial. patients are divided into two groups. one of them will undergo task-oriented activities along with conventional physical therapy treatment, while the other will undergo gross motor task training along with conventional physical therapy treatment.
